Last week, we published two brand new online banjo lessons to Tony Trischka’s bluegrass banjo course at ArtistWorks.

In these new lessons, bluegrass icon and ArtistWorks banjo instructor, Tony Trischka, teaches two new tunes—the bluegrass classic, “Groundhog,” and one of his original compositions, “Sunrise Expansion.” 

The lesson outlining “Groundhog” is designed specifically for beginner banjoists, and joins the assortment of tunes Tony covers in the introductory section of his course. These tunes are a great launching point for first-time banjo players and will get beginners playing their favorite bluegrass classics quickly. 

Tony’s lesson outlining his original piece, “Sunrise Expansion,” is crafted with intermediate players in mind, and is a perfect tune for students to tackle as they progress through Tony’s curriculum.
