      What Folks Are Sayin'

      "Banjo Ben has been the primary resource for my kids learning to play music for the past couple of years. Using the materials on Ben’s website, my daughter has been learning to play mandolin and guitar, while my son has been learning to play banjo. We’ve been so impressed by the quality of Ben’s lessons! Ben is a great teacher and his interest in students’ learning is very genuine. Thank you, Ben!"
      "We've played bluegrass as a family for over 10 years, and I can't tell you what I've spent on music lessons. When I found Ben's site back in 2014, it was an answer to prayer! I bought some Gold Pick memberships and haven't looked back since. Now, from the convenience of my living room, my kids are learning bluegrass from a real pro! Thanks, Ben!"
      "There were two things my teachers told me I'd never accomplish in life–learning to play the banjo, and basic personal hygiene habits. I'm proud to say that with Banjo Ben's help, I'm now batting 50%! Now, if I could only find a website that teaches how to change your underwear..."
      "I've been searching for a site to learn banjo, guitar, and mandolin–I finally found one! As I get older, I welcome with joy the things that make life easier. Ben's site is easy to understand with my limited knowledge–I haven't had to call my boys for help once! Good job, Banjo Ben."
      "Ben Clark has the special ability to make you feel immediately at ease that very few teachers have. He also has the knowledge and skill to either help you build a solid foundation or advance your playing as far as you want to take it. Bottom line is: Banjer Ben is the man!"
      "Time and again I come back to this site. Why? The structure and accuracy of the tabs are spot on. I can't tell you how many times I've purchased elsewhere only to be disappointed. I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but I can hear when the song and the tab don't match!"
      "Banjo Ben is the BEST teacher on the internet. His vids are very easy to follow with a great variety of songs and instruments to learn. I've been playing guitar for several years, but the turning point was when I found Ben's videos. I learned several new songs, and found some tips for being a better player. I have been working on the mandolin for a few months now, and I am looking forward to learning new songs on it too!"
      "Being an experienced guitarist but basic banjo player, I was searching for someone who spoke to me in a way that I could not only understand, but wouldn’t have to suffer through overly simplistic drills to get to the heart of the matter. His concise and effortless playing style alongside fluent communication and refreshingly easy-to-read tabs made me a true fan of his teaching, his music, and the man himself. After practicing to his videos I let go of my personal lessons and honestly haven’t looked back."
      "I've been a Gold member for two years now. Ben's site is probably the very best instruction tool I have ever experienced. Ben’s approach to understanding how to learn the material is clearly illustrated and easy to follow along. I am 72 years of age and enjoy playing several different instruments. I've struggled to improvise in the past, but now I'm beginning to create some solos on my own. Thanks, Ben!"
