the art of mountain banjo has a couple of two finger songs in it, great book.
besides that just check the web and the hangout, you should be alright, as soon as you get the pattern down and the fingers moving it's no problem just stick with it.

howdy,
no as far as skype goes, but if you want to pass videos back and forth on youtube (unlisted is ok) i'd be interested in swapping tunes, seeing what you're doing, and i could play through some easy tunes for you.

Check out Sean Barth's website "Thumb-Lead Banjer". It has tabs with midi you can play along with. You can also slow down the tabs with the midi program. He also has MP3 recordings of many of the songs. In my opinion, a wonderful resource.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the site and you're right.......it's a great resource. By the way, your picture always reminds me of a trip my wife and I made up the Pacific Coast years ago on a '73 Triumph triple with a sidecar. Quite an experience. As soon as we got home I sold the hack, and she's been mad at me ever since.

The rig in the picture is a 1977 BMW /7 with an 81 Velorex model 562 sidecar. I sold that sidecar a few weeks ago. During this past winter I purchased a "brand new" 1978 Velorex which was in many pieces. I say brand new because it had never been on the road. A friend and I put it together, set it up on the same bike and now I have a sort of brand new sidecar, just like the one in the picture.
