This is an amazing video. I picked up a banjo recently, and the videos that you have made have really helped me make progress a lot quicker than I thought I would be able to. This may be the best among them. As someone who has done a fair bit of teaching in other areas, very good job boiling down as expansive a topic as playing an instrument to a concise beginner-friendly list with an actual organization structure (1 is prereq of 2 is prereq of ... to 10). Thanks for everything you've put out and I look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
Thanks for watching! Just keep at the practicing and you'll get it soon enough. And don't worry about perfection - it's more about building the right habits over time than about getting everything perfect 👍
Thank you for these videos. Yes it has been slow, tedious, repetitive and incredibly detailed BUT it has improved my technique immeasurably and corrected mistakes I didn't even realise I was making. I know I will be so grateful for this slow detailed breakdown further down the line. And it's nice to have a British teacher too 😁 Thank you.

Thank you for these - I’m definitely guilty of no 6, keeping my thumb on if not plucking 🙄

Glad you've found it helpful! :D
Is that a special finger pick? Or is it just a backwards finger pick? Should I be using one as a beginner clawhammer student?
How important is it to wear the banjo strap when practicing ?????
Very
Thanks. It depends. Everyone is different - work out what suits you best, but a strap can be pretty helpful!
