Banjo Jamming and Play Along DVD and
Bonus Learning the Chord Forms Video
Jamming and Play Along DVD for Banjo
Learn the Chords to Each Song
Songs Played at Three Speeds
Ross Nickerson plays a solo and then plays backup for you
Includes Guitar and Bass Backup at all three Speeds
Includes a tablature arrangement for each song

Learn the chords to each song, then play along with me on seven important standards at three different speeds. I first explain the chords to each song, then when the songs begin, I play a solo and then play backup for you while you take your turn. The high quality audio includes bass and guitar so you can learn and hear what it feels like to be in the groove. The DVD also comes with a 25 minute bonus video lesson on learning all the chord forms without using a chord chart. Much the way my book The Banjo Encyclopedia presents learning the chords but illustrated and shown to you on video.

The DVD comes with written tablature arrangements for the songs and instruction on how best utilize the DVD. The songs are Cripple Creek, Blackberry Blossom, Salt Creek, Old Joe Clark, Boil the Cabbage Down, Amazing Grace and I'll Fly Away. Seven all together.

Comments from Ross Nickerson: The arrangements of these songs are all rooted in the Earl Scruggs style and accent the melody.
