by Banjo Newsletter
readers, Levenson advises
the reader that the
tablature in this book is
to be used only as a
guide and to play the
tune as you hear it, not
slavishly as written.
This approach allows the
reader to play within
his/her style and level
of ability. Includes
access to online
audio.

This solo
collection presents 19
iconic melodies from the
American traditional song
book plus 6 modern
original compositions by
William Bay, president of
Mel Bay Publications; all
selections have been
arranged in tablature for
the 5-string banjo in
gDGBD tuning by
Catalonian
multi-instrumentalist and
bluegrass specialist,
Llu?s G?mez.Any
collection of American
ballads would be
incomplete without
settings of the beautiful
melodies penned by
Stephen Foster, several
of which appear here
including Beautiful
Dreamer, Darling Nellie
Gray, I Dream of Jeanie
with the Light Brown
Hair, and Hard Times,
Come Again No More. Some
of these tunes are
arranged in uncommon
banjo keys, all without
retuning the banjo or
using a capo. These keys
may be challenging at
first but will teach you
a lot about the banjo
fretboard.The authorÃ?s
generous preface offers
tips on practice,
performance and
interpretation rarely
found in tablature
collections such as
these, but this book has
it all, including online
recordings of each
arrangement.
