Guitar Lessons

The banjoree was full of banjos, picked and taught.
But there were other instruments too.
During the Saturday night performance lots of musicians showed us their talents.
Among them Rainer from Kiel, member of the group hans dans. Rumours go that he must not play banjo in this band. (That´s why we granted him asylum at the banjoree. In fact he is a very good old picker, no sorry, a very good old time picker :-) But he also had his concertina with him and played two pieces on stage. We all were delighted!

Of course many banjo pickers love guitar too.
So we were enthusiastic that Wayne Henderson, famous guitar picker and builder of admirable guitars, gave lessons on Saturday. He really is a wonderful person and his teaching was clear and to the point. Anyone who read Allen St. John´s book (look it up in your local bookstore or let them order it for you) about Wayne building guitars will agree that there is nothing exaggerated about him in this book.
To top it all, Wayne generously gave me the permission to record a short version of his three hours workshop on guitar picking - condensed to ten minutes.
He even allowed me to share this on the internet. Thanks a lot again, Wayne!
