I finally found a satellite co. who is providing me with real internet... So, looking forward to spending a lot of time with your beginers programs... Been listening to your Worried Man Blues as I'm writing, love it and am happy to offically join your outstanding site...

I have checked both Cripple Creek and Pike County Breakdown / Ending videos that you suggested in your personal email. Both are streaming just as they should. I even loaded both of them simultaneously and neither of them stopped once during the stream. Both videos streamed over double the speed of the play time. They are working great. I'm using a 4 year old mac and at&t connection. My guess is that you have a less than optimal connection. This is usually the problem for people. Quite often they think they have a good connection when in reality they are unable to stream hd vids. You might try your local library or a friends house with a better connection to view the difference. Thanks. Have a great day. :) Hello, thanks for the question.

I have been learning to play the banjo for about 6 months and I can do all the rolls and a few chords, slides, hammer-ons, etc., but my teacher is always AWOL. Now I just joined for life, and am excited to become a banjo player. This site is perfect because I can now take my banjo to work and play while I'm on call, and the wife thinks I'm working. LOL.

Have loved it my whole life and always wanted to learn how. Seems to be real slow for me, but I'm trying to be persistent. I have a local instructor and I'm using your site as well. The songs I've listed below are the first ones I want to learn how to play and are my top five favorites. I'm working on Cripple Creek and Amazing Grace now. I have been working on them for about six weeks now.

Am I correct in thinking that i only need to pay 47 dollars for a lifetime access to your lessons etc. Would I have to pay another monthly subscription ? It just seems very good value for money . Are there any hidden extras? Looking forward to your reply , Darrell Hi Ryan,

Secondly, I have recently bought a 5 string banjo & really would like to learn to play 'properly'. Where do you recommend I start? I've been playing guitar for a number of years (badly, lol) & thought i'd try out the banjo. Thanks Dave Hi Ryan,
