I started playing 6 months ago at age 66 and trying a few bluegrass tunes and scales. Now I torn because I'm a blues fan at heart. I loved this am just going to have to practice twice as much. (I'm in too deep to Foggy Mountian Breakdown to stop) Thank you.

Wonderfully clear and simple. Got more out of this ten minutes than 10 months of whatever. Finally able to play blues on my banjo along with my partner without him cringing. Now I need to learn hints for other keys.
