The Tony Trischka School of Banjo has a series of online banjo lessons from guest Steve Martin where he demonstrates and breaks down how to play ‘Hide Behind A Rock’, a track from his new album ‘Rare Bird Alert’. Here is a little preview.

Bringing bluegrass music to new audiences, Steve Martin is a passionate ambassador for the genre and the Tony Trischka School of Banjo has become the number one destination for people wanting to learn the instrument online. The School of Banjo is part of the ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass, which also includes schools for mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass. The innovative online music academy gives students the opportunity to send their teacher a recorded video of themselves practicing and receive personal feedback and individualized instruction in the form of a Video Response. These videos are then paired and posted in the online Academy's Video Exchange™ library, available to all enrolled students. SIGN UP HERE TO VIEW THE FULL LESSON
