| One of the true giants of bluegrass banjo! Bill is a true master of both Scruggs and melodic style banjo picking and a recognized pioneer in his own right. From his very early days with The Country Gentlemen through his fascinating career as a banjoist in the US Navy and his subsequent outing with Emerson & Newton, Bill has demonstrated what clean, quality banjo picking is all about. Regardless of your primary stylistic interests, Bill has much to show you. |
| The book contains all the banjo breaks from Bill's 1990 album, Gold Plated Banjo, plus those from Emerson & Taylor's Appaloosa. Many of Bill's originals are included plus his cuts of classics like Earl's Breakdown, Lonesome Road Blues, and Black Mountain Rag. Don Reno favorites like Choking The Strings and Home Sweet Home are here as well. |
| This book offers the intermediate banjo player some clever arrangements of many tunes in the standard repertoire. With only a few exceptions, they are not terribly hard to play. More advanced banjo pickers can use this book to study the subtleties of a master stylist. |
