I will be conducting an online workshop this Saturday morning at 11 am for all the Banjo Earth School students who are not local to GSO NC. If you are local, we will be doing a meetup at Bur Mil Park at 1pm to jam and workshop. I will send everyone a link to the online workshop. It will be recorded, so if you aren't able to attend, you can watch it later. Hope everyone's banjo picking is coming along great! Cheers, Andy

La Cucaracha, one of my favorites, and a Mexican classic, is the first lesson in the world banjo styles course. A new song will be added each week to learn, taking from music traditions all over the world. Let me know if there is a song you would like to learn.

Check out this new lesson. I first learned this technique from Bill Keith many years ago and it was a huge unlock in learning the banjo neck. Check it out and let me know how it goes. Keep jamming! aE https://www.skool.com/banjo-earth-7873/classroom/2d1732a0?md=28b8c1f63cdd4627a89b5c2f1f68d8c9

Excited to have all of you fine folks in here picking this amazing and wonderful instrument! I suggest that no matter what level you are at, starting at the beginning of the course is a great way to not miss any of the fundamentals. This is the best way to set a solid foundation. Plus, there is even a couple of lessons on singing and writing your own songs toward the end of the beginner course. I can't wait to hear your new tunes you come up with! A note on sharing the videos. Please share your progress. It's amazing to see the videos. However, Skool doesn't let you upload a video directly to the platform. For everyone to see it, it must be first uploaded to YouTube, then shared here. If you don't want to share it with the world just yet, you can set the video to "Unlisted". I understand not everyone has their own YouTube Channel (although I think you should ;) So if you don't have one, with your permission, I can upload your videos to the Banjo Earth School channel as unlisted, then share in the group. That way everyone can see all the other great music makers inside the Banjo Earth School. Keep jamming! much love, Andy
