I decided to play the banjo because my love for Country music, specifically Bluegrass. I took the course "Bluegrass banjo for guitar players", with a couple of lessons I was able to make first original song in banjo . Ben is an awesome teacher and an awesome banjo player todo, I highly recommend his work. By the está, the music of his band is verte cool.
