First attempts at recording the first few tunes I have learned off by heart. 12 weeks into learning!

Can you even recognise this one, played so slowly!! Nevertheless, here's my attempt at BBB, 12 weeks after starting to learn the banjo. I have given up trying to achieve a recording with no mistakes at all, so this one will have to do.

Latest recording attempt (!) at nine months in. I'll Fly Away at a reasonable tempo even if not up to the song's usual speed...;o)

Capo'd up to C so that I can use normal G, D and C shapes! First recorded attempts at singing and playing a banjo break in same song (this one plus Walls of Time). Also first attempts at working out the break for a song by ear rather than learning it from tab!

My latest tune from a tab my new teacher gave me to learn a couple of weeks ago. Coming up to one year picking quite soon!

I started learning this one a few weeks ago and hope that I have it to a decent level now to share a recording with you...although once again, the nerves start once the recording device is switched on!

Wildwood Flower by me as I am coming up to the six-months-pickin' mark. This is now one of my best ones but when faced with the recording device I seem to sound more hesitant and it takes ages to get a version with (almost) no mistakes in!!
