Pete seeger would have the best banjo tutorial 101 on RU-vid hes really easy to follow an Pete's vibe is peaceful an calming probably why its easy to follow. God bless ya pete! :)
How could ANYONE disagree with his politics of civil rights, peace and respect for Mother Earth. Pete is a peach and deserves the Nobel Prize more than anyone!
I was looking for online banjo lessons because I have to use banjo in a MIDI recording and I needed to know exactly how arrangements are structured for the banjo. Who knew I'd have learned exactly what I needed to know from Pete Seeger!
Many TXTXTX! Pete's educaional prowess and influence on several generations is almost mythic--but we don't often get a chance like this ti see it. Thanks for bringing us this rare piece of folklore an education.
There was never a man I probably disagreed with more in his politics but whom I respected more so because of his character integrity,honesty, and commitment. Also a wonderful musician and champion of the banjo. He could make the thing walk with a strut.
Pete's banjo lessons came out in 1954, probably on record with an accompanying booklet...which was followed by the same sort of set for guitar. this was when he was pretty much banned from TV (from the mid 50's to mid 60's) for refusing to rat out his friends during the McCarthy hearings. So, I have to assume that this video is probably from around the time that the ban was lifted about 1965...when he did his Rainbow Quest program (1965-66).
Lol such an unassuming, Mr. Roger's lookin fella... yet he was soooooooo "dangerous" and threatening to the establishment they actually banned him from television for a while Haha nice.. what's funny is I'm not a liberal, and I certainly dont agree with a lot of his political ideologies, I just appreciate good music and real people and those who are unafraid to speak and be themselves and refuse to stay silent and stick up for what you believe in is right... I dont think it matters what your politics are as long as you are genuine and true... unless you're a Nazi or something, then it matters haha
Wow a militant bad mood lefty. How different. You misrepresented my statements and sentiment. But you appear to be angry and looking for a cause. Good luck.
