Banjo! |
My main interest in banjo playing is the style known as Classic banjo, and you can see and hear my work in that area here.
I teach Irish-style tenor banjo. Great for Scots and Irish traditional music. Here's a piece well known in Irish circles as Mrs Kenny's Barndance, but was actually written by Scotsman, Felix Burns, and known as Woodland Flowers:
I also promote and teach Scottish traditional music on the tenor banjo. See this site for videos, tabs, etc.
I also play clawhammer style - striking down on the strings with the index or middle fingers.
This is regarded as OLD TIME banjo playing.
I have explored bluegrass style also, but am no expert. However, I'm willing to pass on what I know.
Every style of banjo requires a different instrument, so if you are interested in playing the banjo, please get in touch first.
I can ensure you get the correct instrument for the style.
