my banjo teacher mentioned this site as a good resource so I joined!
I got my banjo for christmas 2008 so I've had it about a year and a half. Kinda half-assed it for a year as I've been playing guitar for a long time and understand theory pretty well. Finally decided to take lessons this past winter.
Started with Ryan Fischer (from Tangleweed) at Chicago's famous Old Town School of Folk Music around February. Last 8 weeks has been a lot of fun and I'm really practicing hard. Been drilling my rolls at every opportunity and Just getting through my first tunes. I've got a simplified version of Ralph Stanley's "Little Maggie" down cold and almost memorized. I'm also digging through "Cumberland Gap." I'm loving the sound coming from my fingers. Just gotta keep improving and memorizing tunes.
I'm in a band called Superbullet and I'm looking forward to incorporating some banjo into our setlist.
