Reviews
Testimonials
Ross, Your lessons and teaching methods are the best! I've purchased a lot of books and dvd's from other artists, but find your way to be the best. I
flew thru your Beginning 5 string Banjo and can play all songs at about 85 bpm on my metronome. Never played a banjo before getting your book. You make it fun. The Banjo Song Book looks great and can't wait to get goin on that.Â
BTW - got your new CD and it's awesome!
Thanks
, Doug
Customer who bought Banjo Songs for Beginners and Fundamentals of 5 String Banjo
I received the Banjo Songs and the Banjo Fundamentals , and I just wanted to thank you. I'm very happy with the lesson package, and as I improve with my Banjo skills I'm sure that I'll be ordering more lessons from your company. Mr. Nickerson is an excellent Banjo teacher.
Thanks again,Carlos Martinez
......Ross, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I learned more from your book and tapes in an hour, than in nine months with other sources. I am 64 and was beginning to doubt that I could ever learn to play the banjo. Now I believe I can do this! You are my new banjo hero, next to Kermit of course!
Thanks again. Mallorie
