Pro Picker Case Studies let us take a tour through the musical minds of some of my pickin' heroes! I want to know what makes them tick, what makes them choose that note, and the theory behind the tasty things they create. Tony Wray is a picker's picker–he's played with all the big stars and is now creative director for Pinecastle Records. To me, it doesn't get any better than Tony. Don't forget to download the tab to a song he wrote exclusively for my site titled "Ben's Jig", and check out the banjo portion of the case study as well!

    Just want to say the multiple camera angles make all the difference. I could actually see what the right hand was doing.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.
