North Carolina is rightly known as producing some of the finest banjo players in southern traditional music. In these DVD, Bob Carlin, one of the state’s finest pickers, teaches some of Old Time Music’s best-loved tunes. Many of these pieces Bob learned first-hand, sitting at the feet of master musicians no longer with us. Others have taken Carlin years to decipher from old recordings.

Volume One covers the Piedmont and Western Mountains, while Volume Two concentrates on the well-known “Round Peak” style.
Each song is played at a moderate tempo, and then broken down, section-by-section, to highlight crucial left- and right-hand techniques. Tablature for each piece is also included.
