Tony got together with Noam Pikelny recently to talk banjo and discuss Noam's new (and debut) solo banjo album called "Universal Favorite." In Part 1 Noam kicks it off by performing "Waveland" which Tony has written tablature for (available in "Additional Study Materials" section). You can find it in the +Music section of the Learn area or just click here. More parts will be added soon so stay tuned!
Parts 10 & 11 includes discussion on improvising as well as a really funny little aside where Tony and Noam decide to call Alan Munde on a whim to answer a long held question: why was the song "Reuben" not included on his album Banjo Sandwich?
Update: we just added the final two parts of this great interview, check it out!

Tony did an interview with the amazing Ryan Cavanaugh recently when he was in out in Brooklyn, NY. This was a pretty long interview that covers many topics and includes several performances and demonstrations. As someone Béla Fleck once called "one of the best technical players ever," you can imagine these two had a lot to talk about.
Update: All parts are now available! You can find in the +Music section in the Learn area or just click here!

Learning at ArtistWorks can take your playing to a new level, and 'The Lonesome Days' are a great example. In between lessons and Video Exchanges, mandolin and banjo students Jonny Miller and Todd Lilienthal (pictured above), have been tearing up the bluegrass scene with their band The Lonesome Days, notably placing 2nd in the 2015 Telluride Bluegrass Festival band competition and 1st place at the 2016 UllrGrass festival.
We caught up with their man on mandolin, Jonny Miller, to learn more about the situation. As it turns they've just released their first studio album, which they funded on Kickstarter. You can check it out here.
