Rock Solid Banjo Timing and Back Up Banjo Instruction DVD
By Ross Nickerson

High Quality Split Screen Video and PDF Tablature Book

Learn and improve your banjo timing and then receive valuable instruction and demonstrations on playing banjo backup with Ross Nickerson's Rock Solid Banjo Timing and Backup DVD. 

When you boil it all down, understanding and executing proper timing on the banjo is the foundation of everything you play. Perhaps if you played the fiddle you might be able to get by playing a melody slightly loose on the timing of where the melody notes should be placed, but, on the banjo where we have no ability to sustain a note, just like a drum, producing a proper rhythm to weave the melody in to is critical. One of the challenges banjo students face is playing primarily in 4/4 time with three fingers. This leads to all kinds of potential misunderstandings where the beat is. Let me help you to create your own internal metronome and move you further past this hurdle once and for all. Yes you can learn rhythm and timing. Saying I was born without rhythm is the biggest excuse in the world and frankly is no excuse. Everyone learns it! I'm here to teach it.

Ross has simplified learning timing and teaches it to you in a way that you can not only understand but implement into your playing right away. Now you have captured on video through instruction and demonstrations the proven methods on timing and backup used in Ross Nickerson's best selling banjo book The Banjo Encyclopedia " Bluegrass Banjo from A to Z" and a whole lot more. This DVD instruction is guaranteed to help you get to the next level in your progress and immediately have an impact on everything you play.

The Backup section of the DVD is more comprehensive than the title implies with secrets on backing vocals, instrumentals, tricks for playing back up and more.

Ross also demonstrates the classic Scruggs' Style Backup licks broken into full song chord progression exercises so you can practice them in context and really get the feel.

Rock Solid Banjo Timing and Backup is really like getting two DVDS in one.

I mainly wrote to thank you for everything, but mainly the “Rock Solid Banjo Timing and Backup Tips”. That is one fine DVD especially when paired with your “ Banjo Encyclopedia”. I’ve been looking to better myself in chording and backup and this dvd has me psyched and studying. I’m sure the “Joy of Christmas” dvd will be fun also when I get to it. I just wanted to remind you that you are my foundation in the banjo world and that you have helped me tremendously.
