I’m Ritchie Mintz . I picked up guitar at age 8 and banjo at 12. By 15, I was teaching both. My books are not just books: — They are a well-thought and time-proven system that I have used to teach all the bluegrass instruments to hundreds of people.
The biggest secret to being a musician:– First you learn music, then you learn your instrument, then you forget them both and you just play.
The backbone of my music system is Universal Music Theory For Any Instrument . It addresses the first item, learning music. Are you lost at C? Is music a mystery? Do you long to build your own songs and play by ear? This book explains it all in 40 pages. If you want to free yourself from reading music or going to a teacher for every chord and song, this book is for you. ($24.95 + shipping & handling) Save 20% when you order with another book.
