HOW TO PLAY THE 5 STRING BANJO
Pete Seeger

For over sixty years, Pete's singing and banjo style has influenced innumerable players. On this unique DVD he teaches up-picking, frailing, whamming, double-thumbing, tremolo, 6/8 time, Calypso rhythm, hammering-on and pulling-off, two and three finger picking and a variety of wonderful songs.

As a bonus, the DVD ends with an example of Pete Seeger's inimitable skill inmoving an audience to sing along with him (accompanied by Doc Watson on guitar) on the old spiritual, You Got to Walk that Lonesome Valley.

Pete's obvious affection for the banjo and his eagerness to get you singing and playing with him are evident in this session - making it an enlightening and invaluable part of your music collection.
