Beyond the Basics of Bluegrass Banjo
Beyond the Basics of Bluegrass
Banjo picks-up where Basics of Bluegrass Banjo left off,
with about another three years' worth of lessons. The material is intended
to help you become a complete player – one who knows the entire
neck and can perform solos and back-up in a variety of keys without a
capo. Scruggs, Melodic and Single-String styles are used interchangeably.
There are extensive sections in regards to creating your own solos, improvising
and understanding music theory as it relates to the banjo. BBBB is 112
pages and comes with two instructional CDs – one
plays every example in the book, the second is 26 songs performed by a
bluegrass band with the banjo parts clearly separated in the mix.
