Go to camp and jam. Don't need to sit in the sun a hundred yards away to hear bands that I can hear in comfort at home. Would much rather buy a cd and listen.

It's better to have one instrument and the time to play it than many instruments and no time to play them. IMO
You got to get some different gigs.
Got a number of books that I work with. Main problem no one to play with except BIAB.
Wow banjo player only two fingers.
Different strokes for different folks.
Most rock players do it all by ear. Books like the real book are great to get the basic chords but you need to get the fine points by ear.
Diane, your boy can play!
15k for a banjo!
In Montana at a bluegrass campout in the summertime we tend to like Jamerson's whiskey and huckleberry vodka.
Thanks Dan. Going to find out about John's music.
Good for you!
Will a lighter gauge string decrease the volume?

I use cards to practice all my fiddle tunes( well over a hundred). Pull out the card play the tune put it on the bottom of stack. Helps to keep them under my fingers for when you get to a jam.
Stuart, I have Band in a Box so make back up tracks. There is a version of the Real Book for BIAB so I get all the lead sheets from it. Used Pete's instructions for the chords and now I'm strumming...
Thanks Dan for all your work. I must admit thought I'm a coors light beer light weight.
Bill Cheatem.
Maybe it was Taylor Swift.
Punchbrothers do Cars. McCorrey does Lovin Sponful. Love bluegrass rock and roll!
Nice article.
Play tunes. Each tune has licks in it. Your jazz playing will be proportional to the number of tunes you know. It's the same with fiddle tunes.
Every time I think i'm getting good I run into something like this and realize I suck!
An amateur musician is a musician who has a job. A professional musician is a musician who's wife has a job.
I agree love the music you play and don't worry about anything else.
