Introducing New T3N Harmonic Chimes-The definitive text on playing harmonics (chimes) on the 5-string banjo in G tuning! In addition to traditional chiming methods the author’s new T3N technique for creating banjo harmonics will add new dimensions to yourplaying. While particularly useful in the three-finger style T3N can be used in other banjo styles and on other stringed instruments.

With the T3N technique presented in this book entire scalescan be chimed with other harmonic effects including choking and sliding possibilities! The first part of this book provides a review of traditional banjo harmonic chiming techniques while the second part explores theexciting new T3Napproach. Written in tablature only for 5-string banjo in GDGBD tuning.
