BILL EVANS
POWER PICKIN'
DVD 1
Banjo Tuition DVD

A visual method for learning the basic techniques used to play bluegrass banjo accompaniment in up the neck positions. The material is presented in a step-by-step approach appropriate for all levels of pickers, and a tab booklet is included. Great for pickers at any skill level!
In this Power Pickin’ video from AcuTab, Bill Evans takes you through a careful description and demonstration of many important backup techniques that you can incorporate into your picking right away. Each new technique is explained in detail, using a variety of camera angles and split screen formats to show you exactly how it’s done.
Topics covered include:
- vamping --with variations
- roll patterns based on chord forms
- 2 finger backup for slower songs
- 3/4 time backup
- classic backup licks
- bluesy backup styles
Important Note! The titles of our two Power Pickin' backup DVDs have led to some confusion. This edition, Power Pickin' Volume 1, is designed for players with a greater degree of facility with the banjo, while Power Pickin' Volume 2 is designed for players new to playing backup, as it teaches backup in the first position. If you are new to backup, starting with Volume 2 is the best bet. We regret the understandable confusion where you might expect Volume 2 to follow Volume 1 in difficulty.
