👋🏼 HEY! I'M DR. JOSH TURKNETT

Nice to meet you! I’m a neuroscientist and banjo enthusiast! With two decades of experience in cognitive optimization and neuroplasticity, I’ve spent years studying how our brains learn best. But I also struggled when I first took up the banjo just like thousands of others. 


If you’ve tried learning but hit a wall, or simply don’t even think it’s worth trying… I get it. I used to memorize tabs and tutorials, but I felt like a parrot, repeating notes without understanding. That’s when I revisited the latest language-learning studies and applied those principles to my practice. This quick adjustment to the way I practiced transformed my playing, unlocked my fluency, and allowed me to finally ENJOY my playing. 


Since, I’ve developed a simplified, step-by-step online course based on this approach that ANYONE can follow.
