Focuses in on the details on how to actually play the rhythm. It's perfect for beginners, and more advanced players can also benefit from the approach. Another good tune is Lee Hammons' GREASY STRING on that video. Using these tunes, the student can spend months here. The music must be internalized. The main problem is that students think they are farther along than they are and try to learn too many tunes. The 'books' make a student think that they can move right on through the music. It generally is a slow process that will take years to get a real feel for the music. Hours and hours of just listening ought to be spent before trying to move on. These 4 tunes will take at least a year to learn well. The following year 2-3 of the other tunes can be added. However the music must explode into the downbeat. Avoid playing fast. Speed kills beginners and intermediates. Clawhammer Banjo.|
