This book and companion audio is intended to be a tune repertoire book. It includes over 100 Old-Time festival favorites. Some are cliche, others unusual, some easy, some difficult. This mandolin book includes two lines of standard notation -- basic and advanced - as well as a mandolin tab line that can beinterpreted for fiddle also. The basic version should be playable by those with general skills. The advanced version will require more time and finesse as it ismore ornamental (often more than just melodic) and may include less than intuitive ways of playing some passages. Includes access to online audio. Download the free fiddle versions of songs from this book.

Southern Appalachian native Dan Levenson and Mel Bay Publications present Clawhammer Banjo from Scratch - A Guide for the Claw-less! This book teaches clawhammer banjo the way we play, not the way others say. It really begins as though you really have NO knowledge of how to play the five string banjo clawhammer style. Based on Dan's innovative Meet the Banjo program (where Dan brings 15 banjos and teaches players who may have never held a banjo), this book assumes no prior experience. Beginning at the beginning, Dan presents a brief history of the 5-string banjo then goes over the parts of the banjo, holding the banjo, right and left hand positions and his basic clawhammer strum. Even the strum is broken down into the steps of the finger and thumb. You are guidedthrough the chords, the scale and then the individual notes of each of 12 jam session favorite tunes from scratch. Includes access to online audio with all exercises, tunes (slow and up to speed), and a fiddle version of each tune.
