    Question about left hand fingering – in several measures (8, 13, 15) the middle finger winds up on fret 3 or 4, then has to go back to 2 on the last beat. Why not just let the first finger fret the note on fret 2?

    Hi Mike,
    This is great, thanks! I’m just starting with banjo, but one thing I’ve found useful in practicing other instruments is to pause for a moment after each repetition when “looping,” as you suggest we do with measure 3. This reduces unwanted muscle memory – here, the unwanted muscle memory is getting used to going from string 1 on the last note to string 5, when what we really need to do is go to string 3.

    Best,David
