Frailing Banjo DVD

Filmed in four single takes with no edits, Patrick presents the craft of frailing banjo as an improvisational art from that blends rhythmic and melodic techniques to create powerful and joyful music on the fly.

The result is an instructional video that comes across like a lesson on Patrick's front porch, capturing the person-to-person teaching style that has been used to present banjo skills throughout the instruments history - in other words, Patrick isn't just teaching, he is sharing a lifetime of experience and his love for this instrument.
