6-12-26 - Site Overhaul and Maintenance
I've down a complete overhaul of the Playlist Pages. It just came to my attention that Youtube stopped listing whats included in their playlists. This made their playlists really hard to use and learn from in my opinion. I'm excited about how much better this will be in the long run.
Below are links to the the many new pages I've created. Each new dedicated page will have the videos and links to any tablature or written material needed there
Navigating Below
Links to the Books, DVDs and Lessons are listed below with images and text links.
The Books, DVDs and Lessons are listed in an order of what I think is a priority, but it is OK to skip around.
Tips on the order to go in If you are brand new, work with the Fundamentals of 5-string Banjo Book first for a while and learn the basics and proper timing and picking technique. Then not long after start watching and working with the Playing Banjo By Ear DVD, and the How to Practice Banjo DVD.Those two DVDs both cover things that are hard to learn from in books. Then it's OK to skip around and experiment with what interests you.
