5-String Banjo - with Garry McFadden
Due To Popular demand this class runs on 2 nights each week These classes are aimed at BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE level 5-string banjo. As the 5-string banjo is primarily an American instrument, Garry will teach "Scruggs" (‘Duelling Banjos’ /‘Foggy Mountain Breakdown) style. Though the classes are aimed at primarily Scruggs style, they will look at melodic "Keith" style, single-string "Reno" style and a 5-string approach to Celtic traditional tunes. The classes will be fun and informative. (Guitarists may find banjo easy to adapt to - there are some similarities between the instruments). Monday night classes will be more suited to beginner level Wednesday night classes will be aimed at intermediate level. Click on image for Tutor info |
