Hi from Warrington

From Golden_Oldie on 12/8/2015 2:37:26 AM

Hi folks, thanks for adding me. I am based in Warrington. I've been playing guitar for as long as I can remember but I got my first 5 string about 4 years ago. Started learning the 3 finger style but found it difficult to get up to speed due to arthritis in my hands, so I gave up and went onto my 6 string banjo. However, I have taken up my 5 string again and getting into frailing which I find very much easier. I got to say a big thank you to Patrick Costello, an amazing musician and banjo player, he has helped me regain my confidence in my 5 string. I'm only about 20 minutes from Helsby so I may just call in and say " Hi" to you all.
