5 String Banjo For Beginners - Happy Traum [VHSRip] DivX torrent

I had this VHS cassette tape given to me to transfer to dvd. I did a search on p2p sites to see if it was already available and to my surprise there isn\'t one release! So for anybody wanting to learn the 5 string banjo this is for you.

This is, as far as I\'m aware, the only torrent available on learning how to play the 5 string banjo, so it is VERY important everybody who downloads this seeds to at least a ratio of 1:1, otherwise it dies.

The emphasis of this easy, hands-on lesson is on traditional folk picking styles and song accompaniment, and almost anyone can do it. Newcomers to the five-string banjo will be playing and singing along with Happy Traum within minutes!

Happy starts with the basics - how to hold and tune your banjo - then quickly moves on to teach basic chords along with strumming and picking patterns. Working in open G and C tunings, you’ll learn accompaniment techniques as well as ways to pick out melodies for instrumental solos. Hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides and other techniques are gradually added to give your songs authenticity and polish.

Before long, you’ll be picking out the chords and melody lines to these folk and old time country tunes, and will be on your way to further adventures in five-string banjo: Down in the Valley, Go Tell Aunt Rhody, He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, My Home\'s Across The Smoky Mountains, Handsome Molly, Cumberland Gap, Jesse James, Black-Eyed Susie and Banks Of The Ohio.
