What could be more practical and useful than to receive guidance on the one subject that will ultimately define your overall ability and success with learning this fun, but sometimes tricky instrument? Ross takes you through one time saving tip after another and shows you tricks he has helped students with for over 30 years. He covers many aspects of practicing banjo and how to get real results, simply and fast. There is so much to work on but with all of us having limited time this could be the best banjo instruction investment you could make. Learn how split your practice time into separate areas of practice, left hand, right hand, exercises, how to work through the hard parts and get results. In one of the valuable lessons on the DVD, Ross teaches you how to quickly learn a song from tablature so you can learn and retain it quickly, play by memory and pick the song without looking at tab..

Work through difficult spots and develop muscle memory

Testimonial
Thank you...how can I be so lucky?! And I can't tell you how much my playing has improved and keeps improving since I started Ross's lessons. I am playing with groups regularly (jams) and enjoying it immensely. Have even got to be lead banjo! People just can't believe I have been playing for less than a year. My wife actually asks me to play something for her now! Obviously I haven't lost my excitement or enthusiasm about learning the banjo! And I know it's corny, but I couldn't have made this much progress without a system of learning that fits my learning needs. You hit all the keys - text, video, sound, and reinforcement. I just add the time - lots of it - and the dedication to learn, practice, review and keep challenging myself. And the best part is the play along lessons/cds...they give me a great way to practice what I have learned from the lessons and how to play with the CORRECT timing.
Life is good! Gerry
