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
helping you develop the
ability to bring out the
melody in the bluegrass
banjo style. Accenting
the melody within the
steady rhythmic roll of
banjo playing is one of
the biggest challenges
facing banjo students and
these familiar melodies
are ideal for your
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
played at three speeds
and a bonus track of Ross
performing.

Many
musicians, including some
that are technically
quite advanced, never
break away from the
printed page to learn by
simply listening and
re-creating. The common
name for this process is
playing by ear. With some
basic guidelines, any
musician with rudimentary
skills can teach himself
or herself to play by
ear, adding a new
dimension to their
playing skills. This book
teaches the 5-string
banjoist to listen and
play solos and chord
progressions by ear,
providing essential ear
training and techniques
needed to participate in
jam sessions of all
types. Chapters include:
Learning Chord
Progressions by Ear;
Faking a Solo; Playing
the Melody by Ear; and
Using Licks. Written in
tablature only. Includes
access to online audio in
split-track format with
the melody track on the
left and the rhythm on
the right.

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.
