Briggs’ Banjo Instructor, made up to date with modern
explanations, tablature, and performance notes. It
teaches how to hold the banjo, movements, chords,

omespun Tapes has set the standard for excellence in
taped music instruction since pioneering the field in
H
1967. The Homespun line, bursting with hundreds of DVDs,
FOLK
videos, and CDs, offers lessons taught by world-renowned
artists in the widest selection of instruments and styles –
jazz, blues, country, bluegrass, rock, folk, and world music.
As the premier producers of music instruction materials,
our work has been widely recognized in the popular media,
with excellent reviews in Time, People, Entertainment
Weekly, Forbes, Playboy, and in dozens of newspapers
around the country. There have also been feature stories on
NBC’s Today, CNN’s Entertainment Tonight, and the
Discovery Channel’s Monitor World News.
Our company was founded on the conviction that making
music is a positive and beneficial activity for novice as well
as advanced players. We are committed to bringing
enjoyment to aspiring musicians who seek to expand their
musical knowledge, technique and understanding. The
Homespun tradition – variety, quality, substance!
STARTING LEVELS OF THE LESSONS
1. Novice: No prior experience on your instrument
is necessary. The instructor starts with the
assumption that this is your very first lesson.
2. Near-Beginner: Instructor assumes that you
have not been playing very long, but know the
basics. The material is still at a very easy level, but
certain elementary things are not explained.
3. Early Intermediate: You have been playing a
while and can play some songs and/or
instrumentals without too much difficulty. Now
you want to move into specific styles, develop
your repertoire and increase your technique. The
instructor still covers the material in detail, but
there are more challenges.
4. Intermediate: You have good technique and a
working knowledge of your instrument, but want
to break out of patterns and get “unstuck” in
order to move on to more advanced material.
Tapes at this level should push you into new
areas, develop confidence and a deeper musical
understanding so you can start to improvise.
5. Advanced Intermediate: The instructor does not
provide as much detail, and works on material that
will bring you to an advanced or professional level.
As in all our lessons, important musical concepts
are covered, and more stimulating and demanding
material is provided for anyone looking for a real
challenge.
All: No specific level can be attributed to this
lesson, so it is suitable for anyoue who wants to
give it a try.
