Playing the banjo is awesome.
And you're probably here because you agree. Maybe you've mastered Old Joe Clark and Cripple Creek (which are excellent goals!)
But you also want MORE.
You want to play the songs from your Spotify playlist. The ones your friends request. The ones you sing in your car.
Maybe you've tried to figure out modern songs on your own. You search for tabs online. Watch random YouTube videos. But nothing quite clicks, and you end up feeling like modern music just doesn't work on the banjo.
Your friends ask you to play something at a party. You want to join in when your buddy plays "Wagon Wheel". But instead, you end up wishing you could remember that dang tab you saw.
Your banjo can do SO much more
And I'm about to show you exactly how.
It's my brand new course that teaches you the rhythms, patterns and techniques of modern music for clawhammer banjo. Put simply, it teaches you how to play the songs you want to play.
No more tab hunting. No more feeling limited. Just a simple, repeatable system for making ANY song sound amazing on clawhammer banjo.
This isn't about abandoning old-time music
It's about expanding what you can do. Adding to your toolkit. Making your banjo even more versatile and playing the music that speaks to you.
When I was first learning, friends would you always say "You should learn this song!". I'd look up the chords, strum along, and think it sounded pretty good.
Then I'd play it for them and get nothing but blank stares.
They couldn't recognise the tune because playing the chords isn't enough to make a modern song sound right on the banjo.
So I became a bit obsessed. I spent years figuring out how to translate modern music to clawhammer banjo. I studied ukulele and guitar players.
And here's what I discovered.
It's a rhythm and patterns thing.
And if you can learn how to adapt old-time clawhammer techniques to modern music, you can sound amazing.
That Neil Young song you can't get out of your head
The Trampled by Turtles indie folk tune you always loved
Even that Ed Sheeran song (yeah, really)

"The Modern Banjo Course was just fantastic.! You could see the amount of time, effort and expertise that went into creating every session."
Tom T.
"Beyond the left hand techniques of hammer-on, pull-off and slide which is included, drop thumb and skipping striking strings while maintaining right arm rhythm are a focus providing patterns normally associated with guitars and ukuleles."
