Here's our second in this series of tune lessons. This week Dan teaches "Folding Down the Sheets"--an old tune and one of his favorites.

The video lesson 17.5 minutes long. In it Dan plays the tune 3 times through - basic to advanced versions - up to speed, then slower. He then plays the basic and advanced versions slower yet and breaks them down into small phrases so you can learn it too!

You can purchase the video lesson (for unlimited streaming and download) here on the Banjo Hangout for $6. Get it here >

Dan and I would love to hear any feedback you have on these videos, so feel free to post or email us. Our goal here is provide a steady, affordable way for people to learn a new clawhammer tune weekly (or as often as they'd like).

If you're working on the tune, record yourself and post it below--we'd love to hear your progress!

Hi, I purchased this video.  I can not hear but barely a whisper. Neither watching it streaming, nor viewing my downloaded file.  ???  Brad

Try turning your volume all the way up. Dan's talking is a little quiet I think, but the banjo playing is plenty loud!

When I click on Dan's picture, I get the video for "Polly Put the Kettle On" and not "Folding Down the Sheets." Is that the way you intended it?.

 I may be a banjo picker, but I did try that.  Sorry Eric, I cannot hear but barely a whisper...with my good ear right up to the computer.  Brad

OK, this time i listened long enough to get to the banjo playing part, and I can hear it, but would prefer that louder.  Still, I would like to hear what Dan is saying.  Brad

I'm going to try boosting the audio track on the video and re-uploading it... that should help somewhat. I'll post here when that's done.
