Memo (1)
So here’s the first song I learned on the banjo. Recording these to my phone has taught me that I’ll never be a “musician”. I can play fine while watching tv and not doing anything, but as soon as I hit record on my phone, it takes me 15 tries just to get through the song. I can’t handle the pressure.

Memo
So I’ve been teaching myself banjo for a while now, about six months, and it’s really frustrating, so I decided to start recording myself so that I can hear improvement and pat myself on the back. Here is the first of those. I struggle here and there and fall apart at the end, but it does feel pretty good to hear it. Also, this is the third song I’ve been learning, so I haven’t spent six months just on this. whatever.
