Learn to play five string banjo in the traditional clawhammer style. You will learn the basic downstroke “bum-ditty” pattern and how to enhance the music with hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides. You will learn simple old time tunes as well as practice licks. Julie will show you the basic chord structures, ways to practice switching chords and various resources for continued learning. Taught in a fun and accessible manner this course is designed for people with little or no banjo experience. Please bring a banjo (preferably open-back), a tuner and capo. Students can also bring a recording device or use their phone to record the lesson.
