Testimonials The DVDs have just been out two weeks and I've had some very encouraging testimonials already.

Ross Nickerson introduces two new DVDs designed to help banjo students learn the right way to play, the important things to practice and how to see the forest through the trees.

These new DVDs from Ross Nickerson feature extremely high quality video and audio and use split screen technology. The content on the new DVDs are just what banjo players need to reach the next level. The DVDs target reducing dependency on tablature, learning to play by ear, learning to play the chords and by the chords, how to recover from mistakes, all the things that are hard to get from books. I can't tell you how excited about and proud I am of these new DVDs. I was filmed and edited in a top quality studio using split screen technology and high audio fidelity, but even more importantly, the content is going to unlock so many issues and obstacles for students. From the private teaching and workshops I have been doing especially of late, this subject matter is what students are craving for and have expressed a desire to improve on. I'm not sure what more to tell you except I know these DVDs will be of great benefit to you. Let me try and describe the content below.

Playing Banjo By Ear and Learning the Chords
130 minute DVD instruction to help you play without tablature, learn to memorize, learn the chords better and loads of practical tips for the student trying to reach the next level. Includes instruction on learning the chords to songs, playing rolls and chords, up the neck chords, minor major and seventh chords. Tips and exercises to improve your chord changing ability. How to improve timing, pick steady, improvise simply, add slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs to chords and chord changes in the song and much, much more.
