Book & 3 CDs - $27.95
50 Tunes Volume 1 for
Banjo is one book in a 5-book series.
The 50 Tunes
series is a collection of Bluegrass, Old Time and Celtic tunes
for ensembles, families and individuals.
This book contains
the same 50 tunes as those found in the other 4 books of the
series, but carefully designed for the banjo.
The parts in this
book range from beginner to advanced.
Though many parts
are arranged in standard "Scruggs" style, some are arranged in
frailing or "clawhammer" style, and many are arranged in
"melodic" style.
Where "Scruggs"
style is considered, "less melody/more finger roll pattern,"
melodic style, as the name implies, is "more melody/less
finger roll pattern."
Clawhammer style
uses no finger roll patterns; instead, it is made up of a
melody within a strumming rhythm pattern.
Clawhammer is
considered a "self-accompaniment" style.
