All of the arrangements in this book are suitable for play in the very popular style of banjo playing broadly referred to as three finger picking. Within this style we have employed two sub-styles, the Scruggs style and the melodic (sometimes called chromatic) or Keith style. In some cases we have combined features of both the Scruggs style and the melodic style in a single arrangement. Should you have had previous playing experience in either one of these sub-styles but not in both, never fear. The crossover from one sub-style to the other is an easy one. The differences are more to be found in the way you go about learning a given tune than in how you actually play it. So if you have had experience in but one of these sub-styles, perhaps the following style descriptions and comparisons will help.

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.

A Christmas and Tetris classic tune that adapts quite well to the banjo. It is a great song to learn in order to practice playing up the neck, as well as to solidify drop-thumbing patterns.
