Review
Many years ago I had an opportunity to review an old LP by the Chicago-gased bluegrass band Special Consensus & was amazed at the banjo gymnastics by bandleader, Greg Cahill. I remember making special mention of Cahill s fine bluegrass banjo playing in the review. Cahill has remained one of my favorite bluegrass musicians ever since first hearing him on record. In the intervening years I ve had an opportunity to hear Cahill live with Special Consensus & in late-night jam sessions. I ve never met another professional musician with a stronger commitment to the bluegrass banjo & such an honest enjoyment in picking informally. Blazing Bluegrass banjo is a set of two bluegrass banjo insturction videos & tablature by Greg Cahill. The instruction is considered of an intermediate level: you won t find beginners information on picks, parts of the banjo, & basic rolls on these videos. Instead, Cahill covers a wide variety of examples of banjo technuque & theory & a great selection of tunes. Blazing Banjo 1 provides a 60-plus minute course in banjo theory intended to help develop jamming skills. Cahill first teaches scales, initially playing out of the G-chord position on the 5th fret & then moving the pattern to other keys. Following information on up-the-neck chord inversions. Cahill covers examples of song introductions, pre-endings, & endings in the keys of G, openC, & open D. Some famous licks from the likes of Earl Scruggs & Don Reno are explained before being put to use on tunes like Pike County Breadkown in the key of G, Wildwood Flower in the keys of G & C, Eighth of January in the keys of G & open-0D, & Arkansas Traveler in open-D & D played with the capo on the 2nd fret. Blazing Bluegrass Banjo 2 is intended to expand stylistic variety through tabs & actual playing examples by Greg Cahill. the tunes, played both slowly & up-tempo, cover a wide variety of keys & tunings. Cahill starts with his own composition, Margarita Breakdown, in G-tuning making use of D-tuners. Other Cahill banjo originals are included, such as Danny s Dance in open-D in 6/8 time, Iola played in D-tuning, lone Star played in Am, & one for the Road in the key of A. Fishers Hornpipe is played in open D & Jerry s Breadkown is played in the key of E, in G-tuning capoed on the 2nd fret. Both videos, either purchased seperately or together, should improve the playing of any intermediate to advanced level bluegrass banjo player. Blazing Bluegrass Banjo 1 provides more than just information on jamming skills. Cahill gives tips on constructing good breaks, a necessary skill for any banjo player who plays music with other people. Blazing Bluegrass Banjo 2 will teach versatility by placing banjo tunes in a variety of keys & tunings. Highly recommended. --Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine
