By Ross Nickerson
Learn Banjo Technique... right from the beginning!
Everything you'll need to know to start having fun on the banjo!
Ross Nickerson covers all these subjects with you in a personal and informative way:
Banjo rolls and picking patterns, fretting hand techniques, reading tablature,tuning the banjo, slides hammer-ons and pull-offs, practice tips, memorizing
and playing without music, understanding timing, how to use a metronome, learning the chords, tightening the head, changing the strings, songs to learn and many other important fundamentals not found in other Books, CDs or DVDs. |
Thank you, Your DVD on the Fundamentals of Banjo is fantastic. No one should be without this item. It has helped me tremendously. Because of you and your support and web site. I am learning how to play this beautiful instrument that I love so much. Thank you for your web site and for being there to help. I am recommending this site to my friends. Once again, thank you. Sincerely, Autumn Rose LeFay
I have got to tell you that this DVD/CD set is something I should have had from the beginning. In my opinion it takes the beginner, in the best way I have ever seen, very carefully from square one, forward to playing tunes. May I suggest a web site link titled "Beginners Start Here" and list only two must have items, "Fundamentals of Five String..." and The Banjo Encyclopedia. Dennis Lottman

Book information
This format saves money
Fundamentals of Five String Banjo arrives as a four disc set. The DVD demonstrates all of the lessons in high quality split screen close-up video at three speeds, slow, medium and faster tempos. There are two audio CDs included that has all the songs and lessons at three speeds as well and a practice play along track for each song. I could not fit all the audio content on one CD, The fourth disc is a CDR disc of the book that can be viewed on your computer or printed one page at a time or in complete forrm. Having the book on CDR keeps from shrinking down the tab to fit in the DVD box, the full size tab book will be much easier to learn from and it saves 10.00 off the price, 3.00 off shipping too. The book is 52 pages long and is very comprehensive. It includes pictures, learning tips on each song, detailed tablature indications with accents marks for melody notes and right and left hand fingerings.
If you feel as though you would prefer the hard copy book, choose this item for 39.95. Beginning the Five String Banjo
