good point Will, and I think that any banjo player on the hangout would only be too glad to help Tony out with the benifit of all our experience on his journey, and triplets are 'fun to play' and 'cool', but as I said they are 'ornaments' and should…

when you practice a banjo it sounds different to the ear than when played out in a session or just with one other instrument, it sounds alot different in a room with a few people instead of an emtpy room. you are muting the skin and some volume with…
