Learn the chords to each song, then play along with me on seven important standards at three different speeds. I first explain the chords to each song, then when the songs begin, I play a solo and then play backup for you while you take your turn. The high quality audio includes bass and guitar so you can learn and hear what it feels like to be in the groove. The DVD also comes with a 25 minute bonus video lesson on learning all the chord forms without using a chord chart. Much the way my book The Banjo Encyclopedia presents learning the chords but illustrated and shown to you on video.

The DVD comes with written tablature arrangements for the songs and instruction on how best utilize the DVD.

The songs are Cripple Creek, Blackberry Blossom, Salt Creek, Old Joe Clark, Boil the Cabbage Down, Amazing Grace and I'll Fly Away. Seven all together.

Easy to use, click through menus, digital quality, and valuable instruction

....Superb help and many valuable thoughts and tips...the bonus track on the "jamming" DVD is worth the entire cost.

Ross, You have hit a double homerun! The DVD's are excellent, whatever level you happen to be playing at. I was not aware of some timing issues until your play along DVD. Your instruction is concise and very helpful causing immediate progress with a little effort and practice.

Ross Nickerson introduces two new DVDs designed to help banjo students learn the right way to play, the important things to practice and how to see the forest through the trees.

These new DVDs from Ross Nickerson feature extremely high quality video and audio and use split screen technology. The content on the new DVDs are just what banjo players need to reach the next level. The DVDs target reducing dependency on tablature, learning to play by ear, learning to play the chords and by the chords, how to recover from mistakes, all the things that are hard to get from books. I can't tell you how excited about and proud I am of these new DVDs. I was filmed and edited in a top quality studio using split screen technology and high audio fidelity, but even more importantly, the content is going to unlock so many issues and obstacles for students. From the private teaching and workshops I have been doing especially of late, this subject matter is what students are craving for and have expressed a desire to improve on. I'm not sure what more to tell you except I know these DVDs will be of great benefit to you. Let me try and describe the content below.
