This week I continued on working to learn the song Dueling Banjos. We're still in the process of learning the slow part of the song at the beginning. I learned a big chunk of the song this week and the lesson was a lot easier because my dad and I cooperated a lot better and were more patient with each other this week. The first part of the song I learned this week goes like this: pluck the first string open, pluck the second string open two times, note the second string in the second fret, pluck the third string open, pluck the second string open, pluck the third string open, and then note the second string in the second fret. I practiced this part for a while and then my dad and I played everything I had learned so far together. Then he taught me another part. The next part went like this: pluck the second string open three times but you have to pluck them to a certain beat, note the second string, pluck the third string open, note the third string in the first fret, note the third string in the third fret, note the third string in the first fret again, and then pluck the third string open. This is what the two parts I learned this week sound like together. Just like last week, my dad and I played the song together and recorded it. Since I have learned many parts to this song I was afraid I would get them mixed up and kept overthinking when we were playing the song together from the beginning. I finally got all of the parts figured out and I surprised myself that I could remember all of the parts I had learned. Here's the video of me and my dad putting everything I have learned so far together and playing it. You can tell near the end of the video that I froze up and forgot what came next for a second but I quickly remembered.

Wow that is so amazing Carley, but I thought the part where you were trying to tell us what strings you were plucking was a little confusing. Keep working hard and you'll be a rock star in no time!
