I was able to log in and start my lessons.I was pleasantly surprised to hear a voice-mail from Ross! I'm only sorry I was at work and wasn't able to speak to him personally.I wanted to let him know that I was actually able to improve my playing within the 30 minutes I was able to spend looking at the lessons! I've had a banjo for 4 months and I learned some basic rolls and songs but something wasn't clicking and I was feeling stuck.
