A Study In Banjo Lessons
Ah, I remember the good times when I first attended the banjo class. In fact, this is not my first lesson. I have been using the Internet to improve my “skills” for a while, I am a little conceited because I feel I understand something about what I am doing. I saw a video of a true expert playing a banjo and the label was also available. I learned some songs and tricks that seemed interesting, but that’s what I know.
When I attended class for the first time, it broke all my fantasies as a decent player. I tried to show off, but when he met deep eyes, I lost a chord. This is the first time I play an instrument in front of someone, I don’t think I’m nervous. After all, I’ve always been a great public speaker. The only one in the room was my teacher, and I had a very bad time.
It’s hard for me to see my future in the banjo, especially because I can’t even touch something in front of my own teacher. He is a good person, he can play the banjo like everyone else. He has taught me some exercises and I can use it for the next lesson. Because his abilities far exceed my ability, it is a great experience to see him. I hope my voice is at least a little better the next time I go to class.
But if I always freeze during class, I worry that my mentor will never give me the help I really need. If all I play is absolutely crap, then it is impossible to get comments and constructive criticism. I think I will start recording my exercises separately and will play them. I hope I don’t freeze because I know you’ll hear it soon …
