Ben Dorning
A Word From The Leader and Creator Of Banjo Adventures
Have you always wanted to learn the banjo but don’t know where to start?
You’re not alone.
So many people dream of learning to play—but get stuck before they even truly begin. Confused by scattered YouTube videos, dense method books, and too little time in the day.
Maybe you’ve already tried… only to end up more overwhelmed than when you started.
I get it.
When I first picked up the banjo back in 2006, I had nothing but free time—and still, it was a struggle. I spent years trawling through an endless sea of online tutorials, trying to piece together a path that actually worked. There was no clear starting point. No structure. And no one to ask when I got stuck.
That’s exactly why I created Banjo Adventures.
It’s the beginner-friendly path I wish I’d had—designed for real people with real lives. Whether you’ve got 30 minutes a day or just a few hours a week, this is a clear, simple way to finally play music you love.
No fluff. No guesswork. Just step-by-step guidance, a friendly community, and support from me every step of the way.
If you’ve always wanted to play the banjo—your time is now.

One Last Thing!
Before you part with your hard-earned money, please understand this
you can absolutely learn banjo online for free. I did it—and so can you. There’s a massive amount of information out there if you’re willing to dig, sort through it all, and figure things out on your own.
But if you choose that path, just know it can be a long and lonely road. I spent months chasing scraps of advice, burning out, and feeling completely directionless. Forums aren’t always friendly. YouTube’s full of conflicting tips. And no one’s there to celebrate your progress or help when you hit a wall. That’s exactly why I created Banjo Adventures—to give you the kind of daily support, structure, and encouragement I wish I’d had from the start. If that sounds like what you’ve been missing, I’d be truly honoured to guide you every step of the way.
