This collection of 47 favorite melodies includes reels, jigs, waltzes, fiddle tunes, and a few William Bay originals, all written as melodic lines in tablature for the 5-string banjo in G tuning (gDGBD). Suggested chords are provided for parking lot or after-hours bluegrass jammers, as well as those who want to create their own melody/chord arrangements. With many up-tempo tunes borrowed from fiddle literature, this outstanding collection is sure to delight audiences and fellow jammers as well as the solo intermediate banjo player. Includes access to the author's exceptional online audio recording of each piece.

The primal pluck of the banjo fits right into the rustic character of Early Music. By combining these elements in artful arrangements in the 3-finger style, Lluís Gómez has brought new life to these Early Music Gems. These pieces seem to have been calling out for the banjo all along. Once you hear them played on the 5-string banjo, it will be hard to imagine them being played any other way. -John Bullard Arranged in tablature only for the 5-string banjo in gDGBD tuning. Includes access to online audio of all 34 selections as performed by the author.
