Sonny Osborne's lesson is filled with detailed instruction, historical reminiscences and insightful advice. He teaches his stylistic innovations—walk-downs, unusual endings, pedal steel-like licks, back-ups, chordal harmonies, chiming—and several of his most requested tunes. Band performances illustrate how the banjo sounds in a classic bluegrass setting.

Songs: "Danny Boy," "El Randa," "America The Beautiful," "I'll Never Shed Another Tear," "Pain In My Heart," "Me And My Old Banjo," "Six White Horses," "Dandelion," "One Tear," "Tennessee Hound Dog," "Sunny Mountain Chimes," "Sunny Side Of The Mountain," "Eight More Miles to Louisville," "I'll Never Love Another," "Rocky Top."

  • good great music

  • why is there not more of this

  • @BigVOLdaddy Yea, I'm sure Sonny had to feel strange that his biggest hit became the unofficial fight song for the Vols when he was a diehard Wildcat fan. Talk about irony. Probably has had to tell people his whole life that he's a Wildcat fan and not a Vols fan.

  • @prescomp As much as one will pay. 200-250,000 dollars...or more.

  • @martinpleass I prefer a fork .

  • something's just wrong with a man wearing a UK cap, playing rocky top...LOL...GO VOLS..the streak lives!

  • how much is that banjo worth..? anyone know..?

  • The 2 dislikes must have been the 2 strangers who went up Rocky Top and were never seen again.

  • My God this banjo will blow your speakers out. This particular tone will never be matched.

  • @saito125 It's not Sonny, it's the banjo. Not knocking Sonny but that is one exceptional banjo.
