A lost cause at 1.5 years…maybe you’re being just a wee bit hard on yourself…?…I would guess you’ll feel this way 20 years from now.
Anyway, instead of memorization think internalization. Know -...

A nice problem, if you can swing it keep it, maybe the vendor will give you a discount on it. I’ve had my F5M since 2014 and love it.
Well I vote a resounding no on banning songs/tunes/instruments/hats… Who decides and where does it stop? Plenty of tunes I don’t care for but when they are called I support the person calling them...
Northfield has some nice hoodies and t-shirts. David Benedict used to sell hoodies and Mandolessons had some nice ones too. Unless you have already bought a strap check out El Dorado straps and of...

Can't help with music in Driggs but if you can score a reservation Forage is one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in some time. We were in the area in Aug at Targhee Music Camp and showed up...
Don’t know about that particular tune but you may find some info from this website of recordings of lessons with Jethro

I have noticed the same thing tmsweeney, we have a local festival that is "bluegrass" but I haven't heard one bluegrass tune the last several years. More old time, progressive, Bob Dylan, lots of...
Just weave a cloth between the strings in front of the bridge and pick away. It’s not ideal as there is no tone feedback but it’s something. If she wants to be quiet she could study theory, don’t...
Having arpeggios under your fingers is always a good thing. This is a video from Christopher Henry years ago, it’s dark and gets very fast get a slowdowner (Audiostretch is a good one) and work on...
So sorry Sue, RIP Smudge.
Play tunes you know with your 2,3,and 4 fingers….and stop worrying about it it’s not like you can’t be a great player without a perfect pinky.
The ring finger and pinky share a tendon so you’ll...

Targhee Music Camp is back on after a 3 year hiatus. The Travelin’ McCoury’s and Mr. Sun are bands in residence and there are 20 instructors to choose from, along with workshops and nightly concerts...
I wanted to add that any of these pre-recorded platforms are going to require you to mostly figure things out on your own...stop and start (loop) the video or have your nose in the TAB. If you are a...
Good start, your best option is going to be online offerings. Lots of players are doing Zoom lessons and workshops now. Don Julin and Matt Flinner offer live Zoom workshops - Matt has some courses...
Like previously stated, there are no rules. Don’t put such pressure/limits on yourself, play what you can ad who cares what anyone says - if someone insults you because you physically can’t do...
Before the pandemic I played with a guitar friend weekly. I would do what I thought added to the music…I know that’s vague. When he was singing I would strum or fills, mostly inversions depending...
This thread has alot of good content, there are some early posts by Gina and she gives a very good review of these videos. Get the app Audiostretch or any other video slowdowner because Chris goes...

Wow, congrats its a beaut!
My NF has an Engelmann top and spruce one piece back. I love it, it’s the older F5M model they made for me in 2014 and it’s loud and sounds great.
The Lakota straps...
Agree JB, I think “practicing” encompasses a vast spectrum…listening, watching, thinking, etc. I play golf and many times as I’m walking the course I’m either listening - if by myself - or humming...
