I am still practicing away. I try and do at least an hour a day. I also have been playing finger style guitar more and husband bought a mandolin which I am learning a couple of tunes on. So my banjo playing is getting faster and I have revisited a couple of the tunes I first learned and am now working to get them faster and accurate. Faster is hard. Stephanie Burns in her book talks of conscious competence which is where I am now I need to think of what I am doing. If I allow my thoughts to wander when I am playing a song that's when I make mistakes. I am not so bad when I play alone but when I am using the strum machine I really need to focus or I get lost. So I had a great practice the other night but last night I was distracted asw I was waiting for the gal from the barn to message me to let me know how one of my horses was. I kept making mistakes. So I have not attained that point where I can play without thought I need to think about it. I am sure musicians who have played forever can play and make grocery lists or plan trips at the same time but I can't. Maybe one day. :)
