I play my forward roll then my forward/ reverse roll and finally my alternating roll. The song I begin my practice with is Cripple Creek after I've practiced my rolls I switch over to Claw Hammer to play some Pete Seeger style using my index finger to pluck upward rather then down as typical Claw Hammer is taught. Practice some bum diddy as Pete always instructed. Always slow at all these different lessons till lumbered up and to practice areas I'm not as sharp at as I need to be. Do it slowly so I can tell my fingers where I want them to go next. I'll practice speed later after I have played correctly first. I know practice is a must there are no short cuts. Practice isn't a chore if you love your instrument. That's not to say I may be consumed with other matters at times it's to say when I finally do find the time again it is enjoyable to be with the comfort that my instrument gives me. Practice then isn't a chore. Good video Ben.

Thanks a lot, had an injury due to a combination of no warmup and horrible technique, my PT has now cleared me to start slowly playing again so will definitely take this to heart 🙏

I just started playing banjo, and I am trying way too hard to play fast before even knowing all my chord shapes or scales. Take a breath. Stretch. Play slowly and deliberately.

[@beholdiamglamdringsbane89]

Me too. Constantly reminding my self "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." That and keeping my right ring and pinky planted.
