Monthly Advanced Lesson on Fiddle & Banjo
Through Patreon, each month I transcribe a fiddle tune and banjo tune from an oldtimer. The lessons includes high quality tablature, instructional videos, practice videos, backup videos and a link to the source recording along with a short bio of the oldtimer. If you want to learn to play like the oldtimers and learn about them, these lessons are the perfect bridge between your current level and the music of the mountains.
