Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.30906MEB). ISBN 9781513476667. 8.75X11.75 inches.This solo collection presents 19 iconic melodies from the American traditional song book plus 6 modern original compositions by William Bay, president of Mel Bay Publications; all selections have been arranged in tablature for the 5-string banjo in gDGBD tuning by Catalonian multi-instrumentalist and bluegrass specialist, Llu?s G?mez.Any collection of American ballads would be incomplete without settings of the beautiful melodies penned by Stephen Foster, several of which appear here including Beautiful Dreamer, Darling Nellie Gray, I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, and Hard Times, Come Again No More. Some of these tunes are arranged in uncommon banjo keys, all without retuning the banjo or using a capo. These keys may be challenging at first but will teach you a lot about the banjo fretboard.The authorÆs generous preface offers tips on practice, performance and interpretation rarely found in tablature collections such as these, but this book has it all, including online recordings of each arrangement.

Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1142470 By Dan Jones. By Dan Jones www.danjonesguitarist.com. Classical,Country,Folk,Instructional. Individual part. 4 pages. DanJonesGuitarist #742837. Published by DanJonesGuitarist (A0.1142470). Fledgling Blackbird by Dan Jones www.danjonesguitarist.com As a guitarist and teacher with nearly 30 years of experience, one piece which many guitarists of all styles are keen to play is Paul McCartney's beautiful acoustic ballad, 'Blackbird'. The key to mastering this particular song is to learn the right hand (or left hand in McCartney's case!) picking pattern. It is based on a repeated thumb movement which alternates rapidly, on the beat, between two bass notes on different strings. Once this is mastered, the player can tackle the considerable fretting-hand challenges of the song. I wanted to compose a piece which could hold its own musically in a performance, but also give the learner the chance to master the country-inspired 'Blackbird' picking pattern, with fewer challenges for the fretting hand. I hope that 'Fledgling Blackbird' achieves these aims.
