FACE-TO-FACE LESSONS IN DEVON, DORSET, CORNWALL, SOMERSET & BRISTOL

Tuition focuses on 3 finger picking or the Scruggs style of banjo playing, named after Earl Scruggs (arguably one of the most iconic bluegrass musicians).  Earl brought recognition to the style, which involves  picking with index finger, middle finger and thumb to achieve the fast paced drive of the Bluegrass music genre heard in pieces such as “Duelling Banjos” from the film Deliverance.  

Scruggs or finger-style banjo isn’t limited solely to bluegrass.  Tuition can cover Irish & Celtic, rag-time, blues, country, pop and even classical.

Why Face-to-face Lessons Win Every Time

Most people try to learn the banjo through random YouTube videos or subscription services.  These often lack live feedback and don’t offer clear learning structures.  Where lessons take place on video call platforms, students often struggle to see techniques the tutor is demonstrating.  

Face-to-face tuition guarantees:

- Live Feedback -

- No lag, no tech set up, no poor camera angles that come with video -

- Immediate guidance on technique. timing, tone and posture -

- Attention to detail that online tutors can’t offer -

Minimal travel -  I COME TO YOU
