Take a lesson with America's most beloved banjo picker! You'll learn the techniques Pete uses to make songs come alive-- up-picking, frailing, whamming, double-thumbing, hammering-on and pulling-off, two- and three-finger picking and more. Pete teaches more than a dozen songs including "Darlin' Cory," "Lady Gay," "Risselty Rosselty," "Sloop John B.," "Dink's Song," "Leather Britches," "Coal Creek March," "In The Evening When The Sun Goes Down," "Quite Early Morning" and "East Virginia," among others. This video will make an enlightening and valuable part of your music video collection, even if you don't play the banjo!
