John provides words of advice for everything from using a metronome and a tape recorder for your practice sessions to detailed instruction on dancing while playing (complete with his "footlature" notation system). Among other topics he covers are licks based on diminished and augmented chords, banjo back-up licks, pushing the beat, how to create "accidental counterpoint", and how he writes his original breakdowns for banjo. Some of the other instrumentals John and Chris demonstrate include: "Leather Britches (Back-up)", "Goin' Back To Dixie", "Cacklin' Hen", "Annual Waltz", "Your Tax Dollars At Work", "Lorena", "Boogie", and "Foggy Mountain Landscape". 60 minutes, VHS Video Cassette
