Sorefingers - can you milk a cow with your feet? Impressive.

Patrick and his dad do a fine job and have helped a lot of people get to grips with frailing a banjo. I've just listened to lesson one, and have a few complaints (of course). If I understood them correctly their instructions on holding the banjo and holding the right hand seem to disagree with those from about every other reputable instructor I've come across, but then those people didn't learn in Washington Square like Pat Costello but in the Appalachians from people like Fred Cockerham, Tommy Jarrell and Sherman Hammons. The lesson gave plenty of detail, but there was far too much 'amusing stuff' that no-one would want to listen to more than once.
I'm sure at least five people will send in a homework mp3, so we get to hear later lessons - it'll be interesting to see how it develops. They sound like good players, so the way they do it obviously works for them.
