Thanks so much for posting that, Paul. This is a must see interview for any aspiring banjo player. I'm a fan of Rick Beato and watched many of his excellent interviews and analyses, but this may be the best yet in terms of musical content. Fleck packs so much information about banjo styles and technique per minute of spoken word and demo that I feel like I could spend a couple of years working through this. My only regret is that Rick didn't ask him about his africa trip (that was made into a film), even though Bela hinted at it several times. It would have been great to hear what further thoughts he might have about that trip in retrospect. Wonderful!
