Happy Friday.
This week's Food For Thought is inspired by Dr. Josh Turknett's book on how to learn the banjo (it's great for any instrument – not just banjo). If you haven't read it I highly recommend it. To give you an idea of how good this book is, Bryan Sutton recommended it to all his students…and also bought a copy for Sierra Hull!
Josh also offers a great free download and video that gives you 9 great ways to practice based on the principles in the book. It contains a visualisation technique that Bryan used to help learn the parts from Bela Fleck's new album!
Have a listen, then head over to Bluegrass Jamalong's Instagram or Facebook and tell us what you think!
Happy picking.
