I recently attended a Banjo Workshop held by John Boulding in the Hatteras, NC area. Fantastic! John is a fantastic teacher and player, with great knowledge of the fretboard and different styles of playing. Great demonstration of styles, licks, etc. and how they translate into the actual music. I would recommend attending one of these workshops to someone at any skill level. |
