This weeks' lesson was very laid back and easy. At the beginning of the lesson I practiced Dueling Banjos A LOT. I'm still trying to get my timing down on the song so it sounds right for my presentation. Since I only have one more lesson left, I have been thinking about what I am going to do for my presentation a lot lately. I thought at the beginning of the project I would put a bunch of videos on a slideshow to show my progress. After thinking about this for a while I decided that would be boring. For my presentation I think I am going to try to get my dad to come into class and play Dueling Banjos with me since the song sounds better with two people playing back and forth instead of playing by myself. I am still trying to talk my dad into coming into class but I think I can get him to. After I practiced Dueling Banjos my dad made me go back to Cripple Creek to see if I remembered all of it. After I started playing, I remembered most of it and when I messed up I was quick to recognize what I did wrong and what I forgot to do. After I was done practicing my dad taught me Shaving A Haircut Two Bits. I know that sounds a little weird but once you hear it I'm sure you'll know what it is. Shaving A Haircut Two Bits is an ending that is very common in many songs and is very easy to do. This is how it goes: note the fourth string in the fifth fret, play the fourth string open twice, note the fourth string in the second fret, play the fourth string open once, note the fourth string in the fourth fret, and then note the fourth string in the fifth fret.
