Banjo tablature is a wonderful tool that can really aid your learning, but tablature too often can be frustrating.

It’s a song I taught during my Banjos Rule 12 Days of Christmas, and my good friend and blog reader George Preiss struggled with it a bit in one little section. Click into the article to learn more.
