Old Time Fingerstyle Banjo
-
August 3, 2019
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Before the Betse & Clarke concert later this same day, Clarke Wyatt will be offering a fiddle master class!
We’ll explore various two and three finger right hand techniques including index lead and thumb lead. I’ll teach a couple of great banjo tunes that exemplify these approaches. Whether you play bluegrass banjo, clawhammer, or any other 5-string style, you’ll learn methods for increasing your right hand vocabulary and musical expression.
Core concepts of banjo education:
- Banjo as a Musical Instrument
- Respect the melody
- There’s no such thing as banjo law
- Find your own sound
