Level 2 of the Basics of Clawhammer Banjo with Brennan Henry will provide students with more advanced techniques for playing their banjo in an old style! Topics will include a refresher on the fundamentals of strumming and drop-thumbing, chord shapes (and their inversions) music theory for the banjo, techniques for playing up-the-neck, alternative tunings (playing scales and chords within these tunings), and a plethora of reels, jigs, and more.

Students will leave with exercises to help them improve muscle memory and dexterity, with tablature for playing many traditional banjo tunes, and a fresh perspective and appreciation of the countless ways to play the banjo.
