The Sentimental Banjo: the lost tradition
eBook 정보
In contrast to the hard-driving bluegrass “Dueling Banjos” approach, the Barnes and Mullins Banjo School of the 1920s advises: “To obtain the best possible tone from the instrument, a delicate “touch” and diligent practice are required. One essential point…is to employ lightness and grace with every movement.”
Written in both standard notation and tablature. Online audio is available for each arrangement.
