We specialize in teaching beginners how to play. If you've tried other methods of learning (like tab) or other instructional DVDs and made no progress, we can help! Our DVDs are different! Our line of beginning lessons are designed for people who have never picked up an instrument before. They are easy to use and they explain every single note! We have introductory DVDs for all the bluegrass instruments: Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin, Fiddle, Bass, and Dobro.

April 28th: You can now visit our updated clips page to see even more samples from some of our DVDs.
