Learning Techniques for Tenor and Plectrum
Perfecting Right and Left Hand Skills

Jim Riley's Routines for Better Banjo is a potpouri of information about 4-string banjo learning techniques.  Jim offers tenor and plectrum players a program of practice routines that he has used with his students to get them to move ahead and to overcome learning blocks.

Some of the areas covered include:

How to develop a training program
Practice Tips
Rhythm techniques
Keeping time
Single string technique
Strokes
Picking Techniques
Playing by ear
Improvising
Intros, endings and modulations

Excellent material.

Jim's imaginative, sometimes unconventional methods are designed to improve your playing skills and lift you to higher levels of performance.

Riley's Routines for Better Banjo makes the assumption that you already play either tenor or plectrum banjo, and desire to move beyond your current playing level.
