i try to get at least two hours of banjo practice a day, some days i get anywhere from five to eight hours. lately it's been melodic minor scales and modes (not that i remember mode names or anything...), minor pentatonic scales and blues licks and new tunes!
for years i hated learning new songs, it used to be really frustrating but now i've come to really enjoy the process, besides that is one of the sure fire ways to actually improve (jamming is another). you must constantly challenge yourself! in conjunction with that thought, in the least two months i have acquired three new projects to work on, two in which i have a whole new repertoire to learn and one where i'm teaching some tunes that i needed a kick in the pants to work on.
also conducting my first banjo clinic in two weeks up in Dallas Tx....
alright signing off for now.
