“This unique archive is largely thanks to the dedicated and generous work of Brian Ford of Duluth, MN. Brian’s years of diligent effort now allows others to explore my life’s work as a banjo player. I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy learning to play these solos with the blending of melody and meaningful ornamentation I’ve tried to create.”
“The thing that impresses me most about Pete is that he’s such an innovative and individualistic stylist … one of the most influential stylists on the bluegrass scene.”

 | Bluesy Banjo | 43 tunes. “I like making bluesy music. That meshes well with a lot of Hot Rize songs, and it often surfaces in tunes I write. Blues typically involves a loose and dynamic rhythmic feel, as well as an edgy tonality usually including a lot of flatted thirds and sevenths, even flatted fifths despite being in a major key.” — Pete | $18.00 | |
