Be back after I catch up with all my new Zoom people coming in. Also losing people who just want free BHO tabs as soon as I show them how to use Tabledit, so I'll work on that too......see all soon.....Jack

We'll miss you, Jack, but new students is a good thing.

Sounds like you’re in demand Jack!

Appreciate the heads up.

Good luck and please remember you are loved and admired here! I sure hope it's not a full two months. I was hoping you would post some holiday tabs!

We will be...... awaiting your return!

Thanks!

Seems to me these are people who just want to learn songs. 

I'd say focus on things like technique, form, theory, styles of play and correction of mistakes: what they can't get from tab.

I'm not a teacher, so I may not know what I'm talking about. But my one criticism of my otherwise excellent experience at this year's Blue Ridge Banjo Camp is too many of our class sessions were spent on tunes. I would have much preferred to work on technique or concepts to apply to my playing.

Good luck.

Ha!
Ken, it's like this with many teachers and students but thanks for the tips.....Jack   p.s. Yes, technique and more is what lessons are supposed to be about...
