HOMESPUN
Taught by David Holt
Level 1
45-min. video, Includes tab book

You've bought a brand new banjo. You take it home and pull it out of the case. Now what? Well, you put this video in your VCR, tune up, learn the parts of the banjo... and before you know it, you're playing and singing the traditional ballad Tom Dooley right along with David. Add the "guitar strum" and "clawhammer" style to "Old Dan Tucker," "My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains" and "Oh, Susanna" and you're off to the right start, ready for years of musical adventures on your new instrument.

David Holt is an award-winning musician, historian, television host, teacher and entertainer who learned first-hand from many of the great old-time banjo players. He has won many of the major contests, and is a three-time winner of the Frets Magazine readers poll for "best old-time banjoist." A frequent guest on the Grand Ole Opry and other TV shows, David can also be heard on his own public radio show, in live concerts, and on his Grammy-nominated recordings.
