C Tuning - Concert Style. Par BRADBURY FRANK. This book, written for those with no prior musical experience, is the definitive text for learning C-tuning concert, or classic-style 5-string banjo. Written by the late Frank Bradbury, Banjo Method provides a thorough grounding in music theory and note reading, along with a complete presentation of Mr. Bradbury's unique 5-string concert banjo technique and outstanding solo and duet arrangements by various artists. The technique described here is radically different from that found in other books about the 5-string banjo, and no tablature is used. No plastic or metal picks are used on the right-hand fingers, nor are the fingernails used, but rather the bare fingertips. The hand positions recommended by Mr. Bradbury are not unlike those of a classical guitarist. All in all, this is an uncommon, but valid approach to solo banjo technique. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / All Styles - Methods / Méthode / Banjo à 5 Cordes et Plectre

After the Civil War the ?up picking? finger style of playing the 5-string banjo came into vogue ? eventually finding its way into the Victorian parlor and later college glee and music clubs. The original down picking style didn't entirely die out because throughout the reaminder of the 19th Century new methods for the banjo often included a number of songs in the older two-finger banjo style of performance. Perhaps the most intricate set of songs to appear in the ?original? banjo style were these 34 progressive pieces found in Frank B. Converse's Analytical Banjo Method from 1887. Those songs presentedin this book for clawhammer banjo offer a nice mix of banjo characteristic pieces medleys and new compositions from Converse.
