Advanced level Banjo students should have a good grasp of "Scruggs-style."
Also, advanced students should know a few standard Bluegrass Banjo tunes
and
play them at a moderate Bluegrass tempos. I'd like to work with
students on "up-the-neck" breaks and back-up, tone, fiddle tunes, hot-licks,
Melodic-style, single string techniques, different tunings, perfecting a
style/sound of your own. Students, have a list of what you want to learn
from the class. Video and tape recorders are welcome.
