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.
