Tony Trischka teaches eleven classic pieces, prime examples of banjo playing at its best. You'll learn them, note-for-note, just as they were played by some of the greatest players in the history of the instrument. By learning these tunes you'll not only expand your repertoire, but in the process will also become more flexible in your ability to mix up various rolls, play in several keys without a capo and move more freely around the neck.
Tony performs each tune with John McGann backing him on guitar. He then slows it down, going over the tricky spots and explaining all the right and left hand techniques you'll need to play the piece.
