FOLK BANJO by Peter J. Curry
Long neglected, the banjoists of the late 50s and early 60s played a significant role in popularizing the instrument. This book covers the unique playing styles of 15 Folk Era players: Erik Darling, Bob Gibson, Tommy Makem, Mike Seeger, Pete Seeger, Dave Van Ronk, Eric Weissberg, Dick Weissman, and others, including techniques such as frailing, up-picking, adaptations from classical guitar, various methods of strumming, Scruggs-picking, more. Songs include lyrics and chord symbols. Not for beginners; a familiarity with banjo basics is essential. Wire-bound. Tablature only. 72 pp.
