With this clear, easy, hands-on lesson you'll be picking and singing along with Happy Traum within minutes. He starts with the basics -- the parts of the banjo, how to hold and tune it -- and quickly moves on to teach two-chord melodies to country and folk tunes in traditional banjo style. You'll learn right-hand picking patterns, hammer-ons, slides, pull-offs and other essential skills to use in hundreds of songs, including the favorites taught here: "My Home's Across The Smoky Mountains," "Handsome Molly," "Cumberland Gap," "Jesse James," "Black-Eyed Susie," "Banks Of The Ohio."

Student Review:

"This summer I inherited my grandfather's banjo and wanted to learn to play. I was fortunate to come across your website this summer. I got your Beginner's Banjo tape and was very pleased with it! What a great way to learn. Now I practice scales with Penny Nichols on the way to work in the morning, can mess around with my friends playing blues harmonica thanks to John Sebastian, and am finally straightening out my pick motion thanks to Steve Kaufman. Add me to the list of people who you've helped become better musicians."
