The vocabulary and descriptions you use to communicate complicated and hidden body mechanics is excellent. As an animator who gives notes to other animators, I appreciate this!
This makes a lot of sense. It's the upstroke that is problematic, or more precisely the turning-point from downstroke to upstroke, at least for me. I can follow you pretty effortlessly up to around 120 BPM, but then it starts to break down at 160 BPM, at 3:04. But I'll keep practising.
CHRIS BAGLEY! I hope you are well in these strange times, and still writing your heart out. Yes, I'm a full time banjo player now, and look forward to my work every day...what a crazy world. I miss our long conversations. Best to you and your family, Tom
That’s excellent, have been playing banjo for over a year, clawhammer, and I just knew I’d picked up bad habits, it didn’t have that clarity, sounded mushie and a bit jumbled, used to listen to people play on RU-vid and think “how do they get that sound” 👍
