Clawhammer Banjo String Band Favorites Arranged, Illustrated & Recorded by Steve Parker Copyright © and Published 2010

Book and CD Highlights

Contains over 200 clawhammer banjo arrangements that were created to accompany many of the most popular fiddle tunes.
All tunes are shown in a simple banjo tablature format that is explained in the book. All tunes display the associated guitar chords.
Most tunes are referenced to a particular recording source listed in the discography.
In addition to the tunes, there is valuable instructional material for developing banjo players in the form of scales and exercises contained in the Appendix.
There are many photos and drawings of well known musicians and their biographies.
A complete index, discography, bibliography and list of websites to explore.
The CD created to accompany this book contains all 200 tunes, with variations as indicated, plus all the scales and exercises in the Appendix. Because there is over 3 hours of recorded material, the disc was recorded in MP3 audio format. They were recorded at a moderate speed to facilitate learning. All tunes were recorded, by me, in a home studio using two microphones and a Vega Whyte Laydie banjo.
