In order to be a persuasive banjo player you must learn to use power in your banjo playing.  If it&#8217;s not natural then it must be learned.  In short, you play loudly.  
To put it in a more technical sense you are using dynamics to control the emotions of your audience.  
In this lesson we&#8217;ll practice playing with power.  I&#8217;ll demonstrate how it&#8217;s done and you can then practice it on your banjo.  </itunes:summary>
