Description

Learn how to play the Tenor Banjo (EADG tuning*) through Irish tunes. You will learn how to play sets of Polkas, Jigs, Reels and Hornpipes.

Follow instructional videos complete with Tablature (TAB) showing you exactly where to place your fingers. The TAB can be downloaded so you can study it separately from the videos.

There is also audio of the full tunes so that you can download and listen to them to help facilitate learning.

This course is designed to take an absolute beginner, get them started and playing tunes within a few weeks.

*EADG tuning is typically used in Ireland and may require strings that are made for that tuning. Brands such as Dunlop and D'Addario produce strings for Irish tuning. It is worth keeping in mind that American banjos are usually tuned to a higher pitch.

  • This course is for Tenor Banjo students who would like to expand their repertoire
