This eight-week class is for banjoists who have memorized beginner tunes in the book and can already handle playing the intermediate arrangements. We will focus on working through a selection of the advanced tunes, which will allow us to dig into source recordings of the two-finger banjo icons I have transcribed. We will play in a variety of uncommon tunings, work on emphasis and expression, and focus on minutiae as well as the big picture.

Videos of each class are available for registered students to watch on demand, and remain accessible after the course ends, so it’s okay if you can’t make each class meeting at the appointed time.

This eight-week course is designed for banjoists who can comfortably play the beginner tunes in Thumb Lead Two-Finger Banjo and would like an organized approach to adding detail to their playing with these three crucial techniques: hammer-on, pull-off, and slide. You’ll work with me through intermediate tunes in the book, discuss how to build your speed, and prepare to play two-finger at jams.
