My Guarantee:

  • You will learn a TON about the traditional 5-string banjo; everything from set-up and technique to historical & cultural knowledge.

  • You will become a more historically-informed and technically-proficient banjoist.

DISCLAIMER:

  • I cannot promise to turn every student into a master banjoist, but I can promise that if you put in the effort, your playing, singing, and general understanding of the instrument will improve significantly.

     

Testimonials:

"I've been playing Banjo for about 10 years, and I've learned more from Clifton Hicks in the last two years than I did in the first eight. He's a great source of knowledge."  

 

"Mr. Hicks has taught me a LOT about banjo playing, but he's also a mentor. He's not just giving you a fish, he's teaching you how to fish. That is what sets him apart from most other teachers. THAT is the songster method." 

 

"I am so very excited for this. This is the perfect thing to jump into, not only to grow my knowledge and experience with the banjo, but to have a sense of community around the banjo rooted in its true heritage."

 

"Audio-visual learning is the only way I’ve ever been able to play music. So very glad you’re starting this, Clifton." 

 

"Stumbling on your channel has inspired me to pick up a banjo after decades. I play Greek and Turkish music, but your singing and playing has created a DNA resonance in my system!" 

Here’s exactly what’s included in the course:

  • In the first batch of video lessons I go through the basic moving parts of the banjo and how to arrange them for that optimal “banjo sound.” I know this isn’t the most glamorous subject, but it’s one that too many banjo teachers gloss over. 

 

  • I then introduce the two families of traditional banjo playing, and give you your first block of instruction on exactly how to use the old songster method of learning and sharing music without tablature. This is a simple system I’ve developed which empowers most people to quickly learn any piece of music by ear. While I do provide plenty of tablature and other printed material in the course, I will teach you traditional learning techniques that, if you put in the effort, will completely free you from your reliance on tablature. 

 

  • We then take a deep dive into the mysterious early history of the banjo, and I share all of the historical resources you should be reading to inform your own banjo playing. 

 

  • After that, the course becomes more advanced and technical; this is the part where I share all of my technical tricks. There’s a lot of updates and tips in this section of the course that I’ve never shared anywhere else, so even if you’ve been following me for years you can expect a lot of new information
