ABOUT THE DVD

JAYME STONE / ABOUT THE DVD

Banjoist Jayme Stone takes a new approach to teaching the 5 string banjo on this instructional DVD from WOODHALL MUSIC. Beginning with the subtle, yet powerful, basics of posture and right and left hand technique, Jayme proceeds to detail rolls, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. This is indispensable information for those picking up a banjo for the first time and equally useful for more advanced players looking to hone their technique.

Jayme teaches exercises as well as popular tunes including: Cluck Old Hen (with drones and pinches), You Are My Sunshine (with simple rolls and slides), and Sally Goodin’ (combining picking styles)
