BANJO PROGRESSIONS with Alan Reid
This course is comprised of a highly detailed series of 13 lessons, each featuring one or two specific techniques, broken down in a clear concise way.
Each lesson begins with the tune being played as it naturally would be played in a session. The tutor then demonstrates and discusses the technique relevant to the tune before going on to teach the tune phrase by phrase. At the end of each lesson, the tune is played slowly with the focus on the technique that was taught in the lesson. Each lesson is structured in this way to carefully flesh out the tune and the corresponding highlighted techniques, ultimately bringing them together in such a way as to not only train you in being able to play the technique but to train your ear to be able to recognise and incorporate them at the most optimal moments in a tune. In this way, you can begin to develop your own style of playing.
The following techniques are covered:
How to use triplets to imitate rolls
Fitting triplet runs into a tune
Chromatic triplets
Sliding up the fret for colour and effect
How to use pull-offs to mimic cuts and rolls
Trill effects on the banjo - a legato embellishment
Using the fourth finger for the sixth fret
Consecutive downstrokes for Polka rhythm
Double stops
Position shifts
Scotch snaps

Cooley’s Jig
Cucanandy Hop jig
The Geese in the Bog (Old Version)
The Glenties Mazurka
Bere Island Reel
The Curlew Hills Barndance

I am currently taking this course and highly recommend it - Alan is a fine tutor with an earnest, practical approach to teaching. The course appeals to me as a seasoned player looking to boldly go beyond the triplet-laden norm! Alan's banjo has a wonderful tone, by the way - does anyone know who the maker is?

Thanks so much for this comment ! Delighted you are getting a lot out of the course. Alan is back in the OAIM studio on Tuesday so I'll ask him then .

I think it is a Nechville made in Bloomington, MN.
