| Berkeley, Alameda | Name: Ran Bush |
Style: I've played music professionally for over thirty years, and was a community college instructor for fifteen years, so I like to think that I know a little about playing and can also teach. I can get you started with basic banjo chords and fingerpicking, clawhammer or bluegrass-style banjo. For the new player, I emphasize fundamentals like using a metronome, avoiding hand and arm pain, and instrument care and set up, and when you're ready, jam etiquette.I'm teaching out of the Fifth String music store in Berkeley, and at
my house in Richmond Annex, near Down Home Music. |
