FOR BANJO

Banjo Tuition DVD

Capos, Chords, and Theory:  At last! A banjo DVD that explains capos, chords, and theory in words that a beginner can understand. We begin by naming all the notes on the G string one fret at at time. Then we show you the three basic four-finger chord positions on the banjo--barre, F position, and D position. We move those up the neck, one fret at a time, naming each chord. We talk about I, IV, and V chords and how to find them.

Then we put the capo on at different frets, explain what key you are playing in, and how to find the vamp chords. Finally, we provide some examples of playing in different keys by using the capo to play Boil Them Cabbage Down in G, A, B-flat, B, and C.

The focus of this DVD is on vamping and using the capo. If you've ever had a question about vamping and capos, this DVD is for you!
