This class is an introduction to what is commonly called ‘classic’ banjo, or fingerstyle. This style of playing was popular from the mid-19th century through the 1920s. It is the precursor of Scruggs style bluegrass banjo and is an excellent foundation for learning three-finger bluegrass style. In this class, we’ll learn to play fun and simple pieces together. You’ll also learn about the instrument and its history, C tuning, chords, technique, reading music, and TAB. Students will need their own instruments and music stand.
Derrick has taught fiddle and fretted string instruments for over 20 years. He plays fiddle in Tallgrass Express String Band, is a Humanities Kansas speaker, and is the 2023 Kansas State Banjo champion.
