We’ll look at a couple of classic tunes and focus on the important elements, like phrasing and rhythm, and work on techniques such as pull-offs, drop thumbs and rolls. Solid time is the engine behind good banjo playing, and so we’ll come back to some of the right hand basics as well that give the drive we’re all looking for.
Workshops will be taught on the Zoom internet platform. Headphones or earbuds helpful! Instructions for signing on will be sent to participants when they enroll.
