Old-Time Banjo Book - Forty-seven Old-Time 5-String Banjo Tunings and Picking Styles
With notes and TAB
240 minutes

Art Rosenbaum is one of America's foremost performers and teachers of traditional five-string banjo playing.

This book and 2-DVD set doubles that number of tunings. Art groups the tunings into "families" and shows how they can be used, with various picking styles, in playing banjo tunes and string band music and in song accompaniment. Experienced players will broaden their knowledge of unusual and interesting tunings and styles, and novice players can get started with "common" tunings for easy pieces like Cripple Creek and Shout Lulu - the first tunes many old-timers learned.
