Ron Stewart - A Bluegrass Banjo Professional
ACUTAB
Taught by Ron Stewart
2 Hour DVD + tab booklet


Ron Stewart has emerged in recent years as one of the most admired and influential banjos players in bluegrass music. His fluid - almost effortless - style is on display in this DVD, where Ron discusses his thoughts on many aspects of professional-level banjo playing - like finding and playing the melody on a vocal tune and positioning/adapting the right hand for the best tone.
AcuTab's John Lawless hosts the DVD which will be of interest and great value to players at all levels of skill or experience. Beginning and interediate players will be able to learn several of the tunes and also profit from Ron's descriptions of finding the melody. More advanced players can tackle some of the tougher tunes, but can learn a great deal from simply watching and listening to Ron's fabulous tone!

Ron also demonstrates and teaches a number of songs he has recorded:
Black and Tan
Blue Fiddler
Sourwood Mountain
Red River Valley
Twister Gotta Travel On
You Can't Stop Me From Dreaming
The Girl I Love Don't Pay Me No Mind
Lonesome Highway Blues

About Ron Stewart

RON STEWART, fast becoming a bluegrass legend in his own right, is probably the most respected multi-instrumentalist in bluegrass today. He grew up playing with his family band in Paoli, Indiana, and had already been invited to play fiddle on a live album with his legendary hero, Lester Flatt, by the time he was nine years old. He is the five-string banjo player extraordinaire for the Lynn Morris Band, and also performs on lead guitar and fiddle onstage. His gutsy and soulful fiddle playing has earned him the Indiana State Fiddle Championship twice, and the IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year in 2000, as well. He makes his home in rural Paoli, Indiana and maintains a blistering schedule as a recording session player in addition to his steady gig with The Lynn Morris Band.
