Hey Ross, Thanks, I really appreciate it! You know, in this electronic day and age, it's so nice to deal with people who show genuine care for their customers, especially those like me who are not the most technologically savvy.
You guys really take good care of your customers, which is rare.
Thanks for the extra effort you put in to everything you do. Sincerely, Doug C


Special tabs and videos available now free to members only

Dueling Banjos
-Original movie soundtrack transcription as played by Eric Weisberg. I tabbed this out for a student a few months ago. It's kind of hard in places mostly because the style is a little unorthodox from typical Scruggs style. It's catchy though, it must be, look how popular the song is.
Take it Easy-banjo solo tab. I transcribed the solo by Bernie Leyden of the Eagles. It was difficult to do because the banjo is buried in the mix behind the drums, vocals and electric guitars, but a lot of pickers are curious about this one, and it seems to have been an inspiration for a lot of banjo players to take up the banjo.
Country Roads-free banjo tab and video lesson for members too.
Man of Constant Sorrow- Beginner Version in tab and with a streaming video of it played slow and faster.
New live Videos - Stairway to Heaven, Under the Double Eagle, Dixie Hoedown, Bluegrass Breakdown
