Pete Stanley and John Dowling have very different styles of teaching that may suit one person and not another. They are both very talented performers and musicians and, having had lessons at different times from both of them, I can vouch that even with the best teacher in the world if you don't practice you won't progress.

In Pete's words - If you want to play banjo, you have to play banjo.

From a very lazy and, ashamed to say, unpracticed would-be banjo player.
