A check-in on the Banjo versus TV project — J.R.'s ongoing plan to spend more time on his banjo than on TV. This post covers 12/13/2009 through 12/19/2009.
It's been a slow week so this is a good time to follow up on something.
Remember how, back in September, I put a little plastic foot on my banjo to train my right ring finger to maintain its position? It's been going really well. I can really feel it when my finger slips off of the disk and my right hand foundation has been improving.
I did make one change from my original plan: I got rid of that crescent-shaped plastic foot...
...and replaced it with a circular foot.
Things I learned at this week's banjo lesson:
- David showed me a bunch of variations on a common ending lick. I'll be posting more about that as endings month continues.
- David recommends Killer Tone, an 80-minute DVD by Steve Huber about banjo setup. I've placed it on my Amazon wish list.
