This program has been designed to give the Beginning Banjoist a solid foundation on which to build good technique and working repertoire that will fit in with informal Bluegrass Jam Sessions. This book is in two sections: 'Exercises in Picking' and the 'Song Section'. If you are a complete beginner, then you will want to start at the beginning. If, on the other hand, you already know something about the Banjo you can move directly into the song section. The power of this program is the audio recording, which presents the faster songs at a variety of slower tempos to build technique.

Bluegrass Banjo Volume 2 picks up where we left off in Volume 1. The arrangements for this book were selected for their ‘jamming appeal’ at bluegrass festivals. The material was inspired by your many requests including a mix of songs ranging from bluegrass standards, vocal tunes, gospel, banjo instrumentals, fiddle tunes and so on. There is a little something for everyone in this project. You will find many of the techniques that you have been working on in Volume 1 in this follow up work.

The solos are 'razor sharp', accurate and faithful to the recordings and designed to be playable, interesting and practical in jamming with others.  The greatest care has been exercised in making this recording as professional as possible giving you the desire to practice along with the 'Band'.
