Advanced Earl, by Murphy Henry. This video has four of Earl's best
tunes on it: Earl's Breakdown, Flint Hill Special, Randy Lynn
Rag, and Reuben. The first three are what we call
"tuner" tunes--that is, they are played with special D-tuners
(sometimes called Scruggs tuners or Keith tuners). So, on this video
you will learn how to use D- tuners. If you don't have these special
tuners, we show you on the video how to play Earl's Breakdown
and Randy Lynn Rag without the tuners. But you do have to
have tuners to play Flint Hill Special. Reuben, which
is in D tuning, does not require D-tuners. We show you how to retune
the banjo for this one. These tunes are a must for serious
Scruggs-style players. Detailed information on how to set your
D-tuners included. No Tab. VHS
