Steve: After Only One Year!

This is my banjo student, Steve, who has been playing for about a year. He has no previous musical experience and is retired. Steve takes lessons 1-2 times a month and regularly attends a beginner's jam session another 1-2 times a month. I am posting this to inspire others who want to learn banjo to go ahead and JUST DO IT! Steve has memorized 15-20 song leads now, and can also play backup to just about any standard 3-chord song. He can use a capo as well. Although not all his leads are up to speed, his backup is. Great job, Steve! I'm very proud of you!
