Editorial Review:

Description:
Tony Trischka teaches eleven classic pieces that are prime examples of banjo playing at its best. You'll learn them, note-for-note, just as they were played by some of the greatest players in the history of the instrument. By learning these tunes you'll not only expand your repertoire, but in the process will also become more flexible in your ability to mix up various rolls, play in several keys without a capo and move more freely around the neck.

Tony, who is widely known as one of the world's top contemporary banjo players as well as a historian of banjo lore, performs each tune with the help of John McGann on guitar. He then slows it down, going over the tricky spots and explaining all the right and left hand techniques you'll need to play it.

Here are the solos you'll learn: John Henry (Earl Scruggs), Sitting on Top of the World (Alan Shelton), Gold Rush (Vic Jordan), Bye Bye Blues (Alan Shelton), Dixie Breakdown (Don Reno), Old Home Place (J. D. Crowe), Salt Creek (Bill Keith), Casey Jones (Bobby Thompson), Clinch Mountain Backstep (Ralph Stanley), Little Maggie (Bill Emerson), Doug's Tune (Doug Dillard).

Tony Trischka is a great banjo player and excellent teacher. He breaks down each song and makes each part understandable. If he had videos out when I started playing 30 years ago I would be a much better banjo player today. This is probably intermediate level but worth the hard work. I suggest any of his books. Just be sure to memorize the song and break free of the tabs after you learn the song. It is not cool to carry a music stand for field picking! :-)

- Good for intermediates
My two cents. highly recommended for intermediate players only. if you are a beginner it will be too hard. What this video does is he takes you through the way the famous players /scruggs, reno, shelton, etc./ played their solos. if you are a beginner, better to get the murphy henry videos. but if you are intermediate or advanced intermediate you will like it. also you can steal some of the neat licks that the great players used, and apply them to other songs you play. there are some very cool ...

- Not for beginners but excellent
I've been playing for about a year and I found all these solos outside my range. However, this is the sort of playing that every bluegrass picker wants to achieve so these are something to shoot for. The basic format consists of Trischka playing the solos at full speed followed by a half speed breakdown of each one. Tablature is provided as well as split screen detail showing the picking and fretting hands at the same time. Trischka does a good job explaining the idiosyncratic elements of each ... Read More
