Banjo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1101412 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Celtic,Folk,Irish,Traditional. Score. 7 pages. Doctor JerBear #704800. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1101412). A beautiful English folk tune that was made popular by Simon & Garfunkel. It's arranged in a minor variant of minstrel banjo tuning, and it really captures how the banjo can be used as a melodic instrument, rather than as just a rhythmic force. It's not terribly difficult from a technical standpoint, and should be accessible to intermediate level players. That said, it does allow for much artist interpretation, so is a good choice for players trying to incorporate more musicality into their banjo playing.

Banjo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1002643 Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Contemporary. Score. 16 pages. Doctor JerBear #6438173. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1002643). This is an adaptation of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2 to clawhammer banjo.  While the piece is difficult, the droning style is very well-suited to clawhammer banjo.

Banjo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1002644 Composed by Scott Joplin (1868-1917). Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Ragtime. Score. 10 pages. Doctor JerBear #6480693. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1002644). This is a clawhammer banjo arrangement of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer.  While plectrum banjo (4-string) was a very common instrument in traditional ragtime and jazz, they unfortunately never really were adapted to 5-string banjo styles.  For ragtime in particular, the driving syncopation fits well with the heavy droning of clawhammer. .

Banjo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1002646 Composed by Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1819-1886). Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Christian,Gospel,Instructional,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Doctor JerBear #6487371. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1002646). This is a clawhammer arrangement of the traditional hymn What A Friend We Have In Jesus.  It is arranged to help beginning and intermediate players practice alternate string hammer-on and pull-off techniques, as well as drop thumb if desired.  I actually wrote this arrangement in my early days playing clawhammer, before I was able to drop thumb, in order to practice alternate string techniques.This tune can easily be repeated as needed, and makes great background music for church services.

Banjo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1002640 Composed by Nicolo Paganini. Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Contemporary. Score. 5 pages. Doctor JerBear #6436221. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1002640). An arrangement of Paganini's 24th Caprice for clawhammer banjo.  Includes tab.

Banjo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1002652 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Classical,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 5 pages. Doctor JerBear #6714937. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1002652). This is an arrangement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for clawhammer banjo.  Much of it could be attempted at the beginner level, except for a small amount of drop thumb and a couple of difficult chord shapes/changes.  Real proficiency is more towards the immediate level though, since being so well-known and at a slow tempo, mistakes are very noticeable.  Having to play it technically perfect, while also trying to communicate Beethoven's turmoil coming to grips with his hearing loss, makes this piece more difficult than it first appears.

Banjo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1101468 Composed by Robert Schumann. Arranged by Doctor JerBear. Children,Classical,Film/TV,Romantic Period. Score. 3 pages. Doctor JerBear #704844. Published by Doctor JerBear (A0.1101468). There aren't many classical pieces that are well-suited to a beginning arrangement for clawhammer banjo, but Schumann's The Happy Farmer is one of them. I wasn't deliberately aiming for a beginner's arrangement, but I noticed it was naturally in Open G, with no drop thumb, and nothing difficult to reach except perhaps the 4th string F#... If you are a beginning clawhammer player and want to add a classical piece to your playbook, especially if you like the Wizard of Oz, this is one to pick!
