Banjo Volume 11

$109.95

Overview:

Bluegrass music has a strong connection to the old world. The Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, created this unique genre from a blend of Irish, Welsh, English, Scottish and other national flavors; he then added some blue notes, a banjo, a bright Mandolin chop, twin fiddles and high vocals and bluegrass was born. I was looking for a similar inspiration when putting this project
together.

The arrangements are complimented with Performance Notes, Background history and Backup
fills behind the vocals. Several of the arrangements include duets. These are great for playing along with a friend or student/teacher. Multiple play-along audio tracks are included to help interpretation and enjoyment of the music. These audio tracks are recorded at various tempos, with and without the lead instrument; with and without the lead vocal so you can be part of “the band” picking and singing!

Banjo Christmas

$19.95

Overview:

The Holiday Season is a wonderful time for family and friends to be together. It is also a great
opportunity to play music! That was the thought behind this series; playing Christmas Carols as a family or with friends.
The arrangements presented in this book are for 1, 2 or 3 Banjos. They are cleverly arranged to match the complimentary books in this series: Mandolin Christmas, Bass Christmas, Fiddle
Christmas, Dobro Christmas and Guitar Christmas. You can mix and match any of the
arrangements in many different combinations to create some very unique and entertaining
Holiday Music and Caroling.

As an example, let’s say that you have a Guitar and Mandolin picker to jam with. You can split up the parts between the three of you. The Banjo could play part 1, the Guitar part 2 and Mandolin part 3. For variety, you can switch these as you perform. The second time through the song, as an example, the Banjo could switch to part 2, the Guitar to part 3 and the Mandolin could go to part 1. On the next repeat, switch the parts again! There
are many possibilities. Add a Bass and you will have an authentic, Christmas Carol Quartet! The Banjo edition also includes several solos (Scruggs Style) that could be played by the Banjo alone or used as an alternate part 1 with the group.
