Would you like to take a banjo lesson at home? Try a banjo video from PlayBetterBluegrass.com. A video is a great way to take a banjo lesson because, unlike a lesson with a live banjo instructor, you can rewind and replay sections that you did not quite understand. Some videos are also in split screen so you can see a close up of the right and left hand. The price of a banjo video is a fraction of the cost of a lesson with a banjo instructor and you can view it many times.
