Welcome to Banjo Butch. This blog shares my music with other instrumentalists who are learning to play. My personal videos of how to play songs and my own tablature are all FREE. But if you find something here that helps you, please consider donating a small gift to one of my sponsored ministries. Thanks! Banjo Butch

Guitar - praise videos (and other)

I originally made this type of "quick and dirty" videos to help a friend of mine learn them.  He said that they really helped them.  So even if my playing is not perfect, hopefully they will help you too.  Since I usually play the guitar rather than lead the singing, I sometimes don't know the melodies or timing of the vocal parts too well . . . but that will soon be obvious to you.  : )    The idea is to let you see what my left hand is doing.

This one obviously isn't a praise song, but it is one that lots of guitar players want to learn, so I put it here.
