Learn how to play along with me by ear using only the chords to the song on 7 important standards. Each song is played at 3 tempos and you can loop them over and over. There is nothing better for your playing than repetitions. This is the way to learn to play by ear and get the reps you need at home.
This DVD also includes a comprehensive Banjo Chords Lesson that demonstrates how to find all the Major, Minor and 7th Chords quickly by ear so it sticks.

This practice banjo DVD will help you learn to play banjo backup, how to solo, improvise and have more fun practicing. Playing along teaches you how to recover from mistakes, play without tablature easier and become a better banjo player.

One each song I first explain the chord progression and how it works, then when the songs begin, I play a solo and then play backup for you while you take your turn.There is easy to read detailed tablature for each song but I encourage you to try and play the songs by using only the chords. By creating a foundation in the chords it gives you something to fall back on if you loose your place in the tablature.

Bonus Learning the Banjo Chord Forms Up the Neck Video that is included 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.
