Banjo Method C Tuning-Concert Style

This book, written for those with no prior musical experience, is the definitive text for learning C-tuning concert, or classic-style 5-string Banjo. Written by the late Frank Bradbury, Mel Bay's Banjo Method provides athorough grounding in music theory and note reading, along with a complete presentation of Mr. Bradbury's unique 5-string concert Banjo technique and outstanding solo and duet arrangements by various artists. The techniquedescribed here is radically different from that found in other books about the 5-string Banjo, and no tablature is used. No plastic or metal picks are used on the right-hand fingers, nor are the fingernails used, but rather thebare fingertips. The hand positions recommended by Mr. Bradbury are not unlike those of a classical guitarist. All in all, this is an uncommon, but valid approach to solo Banjo technique. Includes access to online audio of selectpieces and exercises featuring Rob MacKillop.
