| PLECTRUM BANJO LESSONS WITH DVD or DVD PAL AND MUCH MORE! by Don Van Palta, "The Flying Dutchman" inducted in the Oklahoma City, OK "Banjo Hall of Fame" as performer and teacher |
| 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. |
