Hi guys n gals,

Firstly, hi my name is Terry am in my 50's and started to learn the Banjo about 1 month ago and
am learning the ClawHammer technique.
I live in the uk but like the old Blue Grass / Southern States Banjo styles.

I do not own BIAB software yet as I just wanted to understand just how it will help me
before laying out the investment.

Following a guy on youtube and think he is a brilliant tutor.
So far I am learning / practicing in the key of Open G (which is what am normally tuned to)
Although I have also been learning 'Nine Pound Hammer' in the key of A.
Learning chords C and D7. Just started practicing the F chord. (Not easy lol)
I practice with a Metronome hitting boom notes and strums too.

Tunes I play right now are the real beginners stuff like, Crawdad Song, My Homes Across The Blueridge Mountains, Going Down The Road, Amazing Grace and Kentucky Waltz. (Waltz Time)
9 Pound Hammer and Crawdad in key of A.

I am a real greenhorn when it comes to learning music, but have found I now have the time and the patience and am doing rather well.

How will BIAB aid me in my learning apart from giving me a few real songs to play along with ?
Is it really beneficial to play along to tracks etc ?
Remember am a real greenhorn so please be gentle on me wink

Any information / advice greatly received.
Thank you.
Terry.
