| Message | My kids gave me a banjo for Christmas of 2008, to replace my first one that I lost when our home burned. I wanted to learn Irish banjo. I bought the Enda Schahill Banjo Tutor, Volume 1 immediately after and started learning right away. I was most blessed that Enda was the Irish banjo teacher at the O'Flaherty Irish Music Retreat the following October. Enda is a supurb teacher, and I of course learned a lot from him! Volume 1 had already given me an excellent start, but he added so much nore to my learning and future development as a banjo player. I was most impressed when during one lesson Enda demonstrated playing in many different genres, including bluegrass, old time (Appalachian), Dixieland, ragtime and classical (Willian Tell Overture, I believe). One very special thing that Enda taught was a class on relaxed playing. Also every evening the guest instructors gave a mini concert. Enda was obviouly quite relaxed during his set. A lady sitting behind me said during the set that Enda was just "showing off." After the concert I told her that is not true, but that he always plays that way. Hi simply is one of the world's finest banjo players and does not play below his abilities! An extra special treat was that Brock and McGuire were in the States for a tour. They joined Enda for an extended set at the end, much to everyone's delight! A most wonderful evening it was! I have the great fortune to have all the CD's by Enda, the Brock McGuire Band, and The Banjos. |

| Message | I had been playing the banjo for around five years and thought I was doing quite well until I got Enda's tutor book. I have gone right back to basics and now the tunes that I have been playing for years sound so much better. I was not playing with the correct picking patterns. The tutor is excellent for new and experienced players alike. Thanks Enda |

| Message | Hi, I have been playing the banjo for about three years, attended 4 summerschools in Ireland and read anything I could get hold of. All disappointment. Either the books just list tunes or the summer schools just teach you tunes. Nothing about basics, techniques etc. Then I found Enda's tutor. Finally, eventually I found what I was looking for. How to hold it, how about tension, setup, strings, techniques, ornamentations, plectrums, where to place the hands etc. From bottom to top. This tutor is a must and the only helpful, structured material for any beginner ore advanced learner. To make it short work: Great stuff. Alex |
