Old Time Banjo - Part Seven

Recorded in 2001, Pat & Patrick Costello present the skills needed to learn frailing banjo (the same style Grandpa Jones played) in a series of lighthearted, easy to follow workshops that show you just how easy it really is to play a few tunes on the front porch.

Hi Pat And Patrick.I've watched so many learn the Banjo Vids on here to try and learn the Scruggs style.I was not getting anywhere.But now i've found you and your father i'm staying right here and going to give frailing a go.You have both inspired me so much.As you are such attentive teachers,I can tell by all the nice comments on here that you are the best guys to follow.

Thanks from Dave in the UK

where do you buy the dvd?

I like the style of teaching.

I was self teaching trying to figure out a

method and found that if I learned the

melody first, then embelish it with

pulloffs, hammer ons and slides and whatever

other bag of tricks ,I could have more fun.

Well, looks like this instructor is doing just that!

I'm doing the same, Bill. I've told others I feel like I'm cheating on the work I've put into Scruggs style, but I'm having a lot of fun with this clawhammering!
