I'm just a beginning banjoist, only been playing since March at the earliest. I've got a bunch of books, including Scruggs and the 5-string, and I'm picking along doing my thing, having a great time. I live in the rear end-end of Quebec, and the nearest banjo teacher is like a six-hour drive away, so in-person lessons are out of the question. I can only progress so far on my own, I think, so I'm curious about any advice on how to get better other than just drilling at my song books everyday. I know buying tchotchkies isn't it, anyway. Christ, I can't wait til I can sit on my back stoop in the evening and fart my way through some songs. It's goddamn -25C here right now. Also, are mutes actually worth it? This thing is loud, and it makes me hesitant to really go nuts.

Banjos are cooler. They have a great sound, they're pretty versatile with all those different tunings, they're just weird enough I've had a fireman gushing over how neat it is when he was inspecting my house, and if you play it slowly in the woods at night you can scare the absolute poo poo out of campers.
