HEY! I'M DR. JOSH TURKNETT

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.

Think playing the banjo is out of your league?

There’s nothing quite like the hypnotic duality of the clawhammer sound—both rhythmic and melodic. It’s easy to picture yourself spending a lazy afternoon strumming, or maybe even jamming with friends… but if you’ve attempted to learn before, maybe you found the transitions tricky, or couldn’t get your hand shape just right. Maybe you don’t have any musical experience and simply don’t know how to approach your dream… I can help. In my webinar, you’re going to get the 3 key secrets that will guide your practice sessions with bite-sized steps that have a huge payoff. Want to learn more? Let’s get started!

Practice with purpose, master the basics, make music your own!

Based on 20+ years of hands-on neuroscientific research, I’ve developed a streamlined learning track for clawhammer banjo designed to work with your brain’s natural aptitude for music. Unlike common online tutorials that teach by forcing you to memorize songs note-by-note, my method develops your understanding of basic music principles—the layering of rhythm, chords, melody—so you can transfer your skills to new songs, genres, and styles effortlessly! The secrets in my webinar will show you how. Here’s a sneak peek:

Prioritize the rhythm

Build a strong foundation by mastering each stroke component individually—the hammer strike, strum, thumb pluck, and thumb rest—before putting it all together.

Don't memorize tabs

Lead sheets give the basic blueprint for songs’ chords and melody. Use this to practice each part in chunks, progressing only when you can correctly hear the notes. 

Scale your syncopation

Experiment with skip strokes and give your playing a whole new sound with the Goldilocks Principle—so you’re always challenged but never overwhelmed. I’ll show you how!
