Class Info
This more challenging class is designed for clawhammer banjo players who have taken Leela's Banjo I and II classes or for slightly more advanced players with existing skills who want to take their old time banjo playing to the next level. For this class, you should know how to tune your banjo and change tunings, be comfortable with the frailing/clawhammer strum at a moderate to fast tempo, be familiar with slides, pull-offs, and hammer-ons and possibly some drop thumbing, and know at least several tunes and chords in the G tuning (and possibly a tune or two in alternate tunings). We will spend a bit of time refining the clawhammer technique and introducing or practicing drop thumbing. Our focus will be on expanding your repertoire and moving your playing to the next level. A selection of old time tunes in the G tuning will be taught, as well as the Modal and Double C tunings. Depending on the interests of the class, we may discuss jam etiquette and the place of the banjo in old time music, how to learn tunes from the fiddler, work on singing with the banjo, and/or focus on other topics.
Pre-register and pay online for this class at www.gracefamilymusic.com/leela-ellie/Leela-lessons.html. For other registration options, contact Leela.
NOTE: Class will be limited to 15 participants. Pre-registration required.
