world of melodic jazz
banjo soloing is revealed
in this comprehensive
method which leads a
student from basic
intervals to advanced
theoretical concepts and
finally to a firm
foundation in jazz
fundamentals. Included
are over 90 exercises and
examples written in both

how they apply to real
playing situations. Every

possibilities and
structure of the
banjo.Starting with basic
intervals, Straight-Ahead
Jazz for Banjo shows the
structure of all basic
chord types and qualities
and matches these to the
scales that generate
them. The books basic
concept model is to treat
the five-string banjos
potential in an inclusive
technical context so that
the student can make use
of open and fifth strings
to create a smooth legato
style. Each of the 90
exercises are recorded
with a metronome and
progress to 16 additional
examples of original jazz
phrases in a variety of
keys. Topics include
functional major and
minor key harmony,
diminished and augmented
scales and how they are
used, and the integration
of altered scale
substitutes in the art of
jazz improvisation. It
stresses listening and
learning in a logical
structured manner with an
example of a daily
practice plan. The unique
emphasis of the book is
on the fingerings which
make the instrument work
for you technically and
thus open up added
possibilities for the
development of a students
personal style. This
long-awaited volume will
surely bring new focus
and perspective to any
banjo style and will be a
classic reference for
many new generations of
banjoists. Includes

Easy
to play five-string banjo
arrangements of
twenty-four childrens
favorites by banjo master
Ross Nickerson. Not only
are these songs fun to
play but from an
instructional standpoint
they are perfect for

development of that
skill. Each song is
arranged and performed
using proper three-finger
bluegrass technique. The
arrangements are
carefully designed to
bring out the melody, but
easy enough for a
beginner or intermediate
player to learn quickly.
The tablature in the book
is large and easy to read
with accent marks for
melody notes, as well as
right and left-hand
fingering indications.
This book is not simply a
tablature book. Childrens
Songs for Banjo Made Easy
also features instruction
on learning the chords to
each song, chord
progression charts for
each song, special
learning tips for each
arrangement, a full page
of advice on memorizing
the songs and more. Also,
in the instructional
section of the book Ross
includes a page of
suggestions on the best
use of practice time and
how to develop the skills
needed to succeed with
each piece. Includes
online access to a high
quality studio recorded
audio of all the songs

Fiddle
Tunes for Banjo Made Easy
is a collection of
must-know, easy-to-learn
bluegrass instrumental
standards. Ross records
each song at three speeds
and also includes a
rhythm backup track. The
slow speed is ideal for
hearing the notes clearly
and being able to play
along in rhythm; the
medium speed is a perfect
goal for the beginning
and intermediate student
while the faster speed
demonstrates what the
song can sound like with
a hard, driving push. The
tablature is large for
ease of reading and
includes accent marks for
melody notes where
needed. Ross also
provides tips and
suggestions for each song
to save you valuable
practice time. These are
tips on the more
challenging spots that
Ross has learned
firsthand from teaching
these privately for many
years. In addition, there
is a whole page of
instruction on learning
the chords to the song,
how to play the song
using only the chords,
chord charts written out
for each song and tips
for memorizing and
playing without tab.
Fiddle Tunes for Banjo
Made Easy is not just
another tab book; it
covers all the bases and
gives you a realistic
balanced approach for
learning the songs the
EASY way. Includes access
to online audio.

This
book is designed to aid
the novice attempting to
learn the 5-string banjo
using 3-Finger Style,
where the strings are
picked by three fingers
thumb, index and middle
of the right hand. Upon
completing this volume,
you will have learned how
to combine left-hand
notes with right-hand
patterns so as to perform
bluegrass style solos and
back-up. You will also
have the foundation
needed to explore other
styles of music, such as
blues and jazz. No prior
knowledge of music or any
musical instrument is
needed to learn from this
method. Enough detail is
given to allow the
beginner to fully grasp
each concept. In
addition, exercises are
designed to facilitate a
gradual increase in the
students understanding
and dexterity. When a new
concept is presented for
the right hand, the left
hand performs previously
learned tasks. Likewise,
a new left-hand technique
is demonstrated with
familiar right-hand
patterns. This
instructional technique
is used throughout the
text. Includes access to
online audio.
