DVD – Singing with the Banjo – Songs and Accompaniment Clawhammer Style
A terrific lesson for banjo players who want to sing and accompany themselves in clawhammer style. Starting with two easy songs Cathy shows how to find the right key for your voice, use the capo, play a simple accompaniment, and pick out melody notes. Learn to embellish tunes with licks and tricks that will add drive and excitement. Moving to intermediate/advanced techniques Cathy shows you double thumbing on “Cumberland Mountain Bear Chase,” old time modal sounds for “Shady Grove,” waltz time with “Irene Goodnight,” and a show-stopping version of “Oh! Susanna.” As a bonus Cathy performs five of her most popular songs: “The Cuckoo,” “When Time Draws Near,” “Buffalo Gals,” “Psalm of Life” and “Wild Rose of the Mountain.” Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 105 min.
