Back in the '80's there was a dude from Winnipeg, Brian Ramsay, who produced a ' learn the 5 string in one year' course ( Earl style) that had a tab book and 5 audio tapes. Great course ... I learned from it. He also produced his own 'bender' fingerpicks. Can't seem to find him on the 'net'. Anybody know anything???

I think there are some links to his free banjo lessons web page. or you could google "free banjo lessons ,Brian Ramsay" and see what come of it. hope this helps you
	SirRight says: 10/26/2011 11:14:12 AM Anyone know where this material is on the net? A quick search doesn't show any valid websites.
	LParker says: 11/6/2011 4:38:48 PM check this address out if you are looking for the course. amazon.com/One-Year-Five-Strin...000PPF4OC
	SirRight says: 11/6/2011 10:13:02 PM Thanks for the link but I was hoping it might be in public domain.
	LParker says: 11/7/2011 3:14:50 PM I used to have a copy of Brian's course but it somehow got lost. If I still had it I would give it to you If it ever turns up,its yours. take care Cheers, Lee

You know, I find people in general are not very nice like they used to be years ago but I'm finding all kinds of good people on this site. Maybe it's true that good people play banjos?
