Now I am just a beginner banjo player. It is easier for me than guitar was in the beginning because I am over the fear of making mistakes. I find myself starting to take a mistake and work it into the piece, which I find easier than working a mistake into a guitar piece. I truly love the banjo and the progress I have made in my two and a half years. I've kept in touch with that guitar teacher, he's recovered nicely.<br /><br />Mr DanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012260957805090376.post-18282979603719805532009-08-23T08:48:13.713-04:002009-08-23T08:48:13.713-04:00I remember having to take accordion lessons when I...I remember having to take accordion lessons when I was seven or eight. I could not learn to coordinate my left hand and right hand with the push and pull motion. That poor instructor must have dreaded my visit as much or more that I did. Being left handed was part of my problem whenever it came to music lessons.Steve Gravanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840984762759524660noreply@blogger.com
