The other night I had a strange dream. I was climbing a giant Banjo mountain. When I reached the top I heard a voice and it said:
1. Thou shalt learn how to read a banjo tabulator
2. Thou shalt learn the name of the strings in their order.
3. Thou shalt know how to use banjo picks before starting practice.
4. Thou shat not hold the banjo at an angle and look at the strings while picking
5.Thou shalt not pick fast when learning to play the banjo.
6. Thou shalt check the tuning of your strings before starting to play.
7. Thou shalt keep your little finger or ring finger anchored to the banjo head when picking.
8. Thou shalt learn how to pick your rolls before starting to pick out a melody.
9. Thou shalt learn how to form the basic banjo chords before starting any song.
10. Thou shalt set aside time every day for practicing the banjo.
Then the voice said take these commandments and share them with all who are at the foot of the banjo. Then I woke up and thought, that voice sounded an awful lot like Dave..maybe I shuld not eat so much ice cream after eating watermelon.
