Hi,
Lady teacher had a dozen students for violin less at 20£ a throw so I was overlooked!
However Tom Oakes(a piper,fluterer )plonked me down and went through a bit wi me.
I larnt that you need to plan your stroke direction ahead of an opportunity to be fancy.
I was being a bit robotnic on triplettos ---I kept to DUD.
Taking my time,I could see/feel how an effort to follow a Down on my E string with a Down on the A, made it easier to brrp on the E string.
It works the other way too ---Up on my A to either the Dor E makes the triplet easier.
Any Drummers out there?Think Paradidle.that's a drum roll in the pattern RLRRLRLL.
Thats how I'm picturing my stroke play.
Tom also said to use hammer-on/off.I really thought that was for geetarists and bluegrass only.

I didn't understand a word to be honest eric, but it sounds like you had fun and learned a lot, which is what matters.
What's the Irish Banjo site? I'd like to take a look, I'm hoping to get a tenor guitar soon, no reason I can't play tenor banjo songs on it right?
