Want to learn to play the banjo

My dad can teach you how to break out his banjo every family holiday after we're all drunk, tune it for an hour, strum it a couple times and then put it down.

It's an awful instrument to learn if you don't already play another. Learn the guitar first then move to banjo.

There's a good channel on YTube, I think the guy's screen name is "rpeek" or something of the sort. He's a trip; makes homemade banjos and documents his everyday goings on.

He does some easy tutorials of some clawhammer style. It takes a little practice, but you prob could pick it up pretty fast. g'luck

Holy Cow that was funny!

Anyone know any really good, local banjo players in the Baton Rouge area who might give lessons?

My uncle is the president of the banjo club of Baton Rouge. I think the club could be a good place to start.

Name?
