5 string folk banjo. No specific american bluegrass music. Lessons progress very quickly
- Playing style: 2 finger folk banjo with fingerpicks
- Not exclusively American music. You will find all kinds of folk music and other tunes from the collective memory of my generation in the lesson package.
- No prior knowledge or music theory required. I use tablatures. I have written about 300 tabs for banjo
- The lessons are progressing very quickly:
o 1st lesson basic rhythm right hand and some chord shapes (number depends on student)
o 2nd lesson: first song, with tablature and the necessary explanation
o 3rd lesson: the same song with some simple basic decorations with the left hand
o From the 4th lesson onwards, a new song or tune every lesson
If it becomes too difficult, I also fully adapt to the needs of the student
- Both individual and group lessons are possible
- During the lessons various open banjo tunings are discussed.
- My banjo style lends itself very well to playing or singing along with violin, mandolin, guitar, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa, diatonic accordion and other folk music instruments
- Since most of the tunings I use on the banjo are in G, this style is very easy to use during sessions or other playing moments here in Western Europe.
- But there are also other nice moods.
