I have had a banjo for about a year now, but for my birthday the missus got a collection going and got me some lessons. How long until I stop sucking so hard? My left hand is like it is made out of hotdogs in a big rubber glove.

How long did it take you guys to get a sort of... ease, I guess, with the banjo? I don't play guitar or bass or anything, so this is my first music experience. I am not expecting to bust out Foggy Mountain Breakdown yet or anything, but maybe when I could look forward to hanging out with others and following along or what have you. poo poo is hard. Arrgh.

Smeed posted:How long have you been learning? I'm about a month in and I can play basic songs and I only practice once every couple days. If you just began its boring to start, then a lot of fun once you're able to play a basic tune. I found the best way to breeze past a trouble spot is to put the banjo down and revisit it the next day. Its mostly muscle memory I guess. I can noodle out tabbed songs, I guess I just am eager for when it sounds like bluegrass and less like me plinking away.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong with hammer ons? I try to tag the string with all force possible but it ends up sounding like a hummingbird fart.

Planet X posted:You hitting it right behind the fret? Make sure you're fretting the notes right behind the fret, not the space in between. Wierd, I woke up this morning and picked up THE MACHINE and suddenly sucked less. They still don't sound great and I still can't do a pulloff without hitting another string but progress is progress.
