This class will focus on the banjo repertoire of Earl Scruggs. The course will not be based on the Scruggs book, although it will cover some of the same tunes. All levels (with some experience) welcome, especially students from previous Passim fingerstyle banjo classes. Students will be learning by ear, but tablature will also be available at the end of each class. Recorders are highly recommended.
