The
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
tablature fingerings and
standard music notation
which show how scales and
arpeggios are used and
how they apply to real
playing situations. Every
five-string banjoist can
benefit from the
information contained in
this breakthrough volume
whether they aspire to
jazz or just want to find
out more about the
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
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.

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.
