Patrick, in these days of greedy corporations, you are a remarkable and generous fellow!

Incredibly generous of you, sir. I have always wanted to monkey around with this, and believe you have given me the opportunity. Thank you.

All the best,

Mick

VERY cool! Are the tabs/chord charts mentioned hung up there somewhere too?

There are links and discussions of Patrick's other projects here - Mudcat Thread - How and Tao.
The Banjo Podcasts are worth a listen.
Quack!

I'll get the tab files mention in the workshop online in some format in the near future - but until then there is enough alternative material available to fill in the blanks.

Our weekly banjo video series has started. Lesson one is up now, and will be taken down on Friday to make room for lesson two. http://howandtao.com/banjo1.avi

The free workshop series is being canceled.

We're going to keep the series going on DVD, and we're keeping the free guitar video series going, but the days of free five-string banjo material from howandtao.com are over.
