...Your arrangement is as close to Earl as I have ever heard and your instructions are breaking it down into digestible pieces so I'm actually making progress each time I sit down. It is the best value in instruction that have come across to date...

"BanjoTeacher.com" - that's exactly What he is!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulIf I can get more actual lessons from Ross through the internet without having to chase him all over the world, then I will gladly pay the price asked! No wonder his site is named "BanjoTeacher.com" - that's exactly What he is!
He is explicit even down to where and why to put the odd finger
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulI am DEFINITELY going become a member there, and also am picking-up his other instruction books. He is explicit even down to where and why to put the odd finger on the odd string, and how that flows into the next chord. Best part is the recorded back-up band, minus the banjo recorded at both slow (beginner-level) and full speeds.
I am blown away
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulYesterday I received his Scruggs Style instruction book and 2 CD set, and lemme tell ya'll - I am blown away but the instruction on it! I learned more in 20 minutes of listening to the first CD and just floowing along with my finger in the book - NO banjo in hand! - than I did the first few months of lessons I took!
