5-String Banjo
I first heard bluegrass banjo emanating from the tinny radio speaker of my 1956 black and white enamel Ford Crown Victoria back in the mid-60’s. I became an instant and life-long bluegrass fan and was determined to learn how to play that style. Soon afterward, I had an opportunity to meet the great bluegrass fiddle player, Ben “Tex” Logan, at a music session. We became lifelong friends and I still think of Tex as my spiritual “bluegrass mentor”. My life has been a series of the right people showing up at the right time!
Fifty years later I am still working at it; playing, teaching, and writing for three-finger "Scruggs-style" 5-string banjo. As a jazz guitar player, I always “heard” the possibilities of the 5-string going in that direction as well. I’ll be presenting some of my original jazz-inspired ideas and exercises in lesson format here.
