Learn how a small change in your fretting-hand angle can help clean up your banjo chords. You’ll use the direction of your fingernails as a visual checkpoint, then build the position one finger at a time. The lesson also shows how this angle can improve string clearance, keep your fingers closer to the frets, make wider stretches easier, and strengthen full F-shape and D-shape chords.

Rated 5 out of 5
I feel like you’re in the room teaching me the correct finger placement and chords. The former is extremely valuable because when I think I’ve done things correctly, I review the lesson and often times hear myself saying “oops!” Thanks and keep ’em coming.
