WELCOME!
Dear Banjo Enthusiast,

You are going to be excited when you find out all about these unique DVD banjo lessons
and the free banjo music CD or CDs that will be yours as a bonus.  Back in 1971, when I
was the banjoist with the well known Mickie Finn Show in San Diego I developed a system
for teaching the plectrum banjo with a combination of cassettes and books.  (The plectrum
banjo is tuned CGBD, in contrast with the tenor banjo which is tuned CGDA.)  This
system was the result of teaching many years of private lessons.  Later I changed to video
and finally updated to the DVD format.  

Over the years this system has been so successful that over a 1000 students have used it
and consequently I get letters and e-mails from students all over the world telling me how
much they enjoy it, and how much they have benefited from it.  You can read some of
their remarks by clicking the "Comments" button.  If you're a beginner, check out
Program #1.  If you've been playing a while but would like to get a better understanding of
chords, check out Program #2.  If you're interested in improving your right hand
technique, than Program #3 is what you're looking for.  Check out the Solo Books to add
to your repertoire or the Arrangements to beef them up.

You're probably wondering what all this is going to cost.  Get ready for a pleasant
surprise.  If you were to take private lessons from a banjo teacher, that is, if you could
find one, it would take approximately 90 half hour lessons to cover all the material in
these three programs.  At the conservative rate of $25.00 per lesson, that would add up to
$2,250.00!!  To teach you this same information, at your convenience, in the privacy of
your own home, with the ability to back up and repeat at will, the cost to you is just a
fraction of that.  There are three programs, each consisting of one book and 2 DVDs.  
When you order all three programs at the same time you will receive as a bonus a music
CD of your choice.  It works out that the cost to you of $2,250.00 worth of banjo lessons
comes to less than $200.00!

Sometimes banjo players ask me if they could spend a few days taking advanced lessons
from me.  I'm happy to do that.  Go to "Store" to find out how to contact me.  Another
option is to learn to play the banjo "Virtually".  To find out all about that, click on the
"Virtual Banjo Lessons" tab at the left of the screen.

Everything I have available for the banjo has a 30 day money-back guarantee!  If you are
not satisfied for any reason your money will be promptly refunded.  Once you are a
student, a very important added benefit is that if for any reason you need some additional
help, you can email me or give a call.  You'll find that information at the "Store".

If you need a banjo or would like to upgrade, I highly recommend the Richelieu banjos.  
As a student of mine you can order your Richelieu banjo through me at a sizable discount.
Click on "Richelieu" to learn about the company.  Then take a look at their brochure at
their website by clicking "Links" to check out all the models and prices.  To hear the
sound of a Richelieu, click on "Bytes & Clips" and you'll hear me play my beautiful
Richelieu Golden Eagle.
