Banjo player, singer, songwriter, percussive dancer, choreographer, and square-dance caller, Oakland, CA-based Evie Ladin returns to Deering Live to share tips and techniques for jams that may or may not be specific to old-time string band music.
Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!
Been playing professionally, including college concerts, for 60 years, and I learned several new things already—halfway through! Wow and thanks.
Great Playing! I noticed that the finger you use to fret string 1 at fret 2 seems to depend on the context of the next chord— can you explain a bit??
Thanks
I’ve got plenty of technique. My problem is getting out of my head, as I think you put it. Any suggestions?
