For an idea of the quality of the transcriptions, you can download PDF transcription samples from the Banjo Lessons page. Also included are back-up ideas, vamping patterns, movable licks, vocal endings, double tag endings, and ¾ style playing ideas. Crowe and other banjo greats, mixed in with lots of my own arrangements of commonly played bluegrass jam pieces, all with an eye toward developing the correct stylistic elements essential to bluegrass banjo. As the pieces move along, we learn some classic solos I have transcribed through the years from Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, J.D. As we progress, we introduce the hammer, slide and pull-off licks associated with Earl Scruggs. In the beginning lessons, we use simple three-finger rolls, combined with chords and melodies to play some standard bluegrass songs. In this 96 page spiral-bound book, the tablature is laid out in a graduated fashion. This book is a result of my developing a well thought-out lesson program for banjo over the last forty years of teaching.
