Mel Bay Splitting The Licks - Banjo Music Book & 2 CD Set
Improvising and Arranging Songs on the 5-String Banjo by Janet Davis - This spiral bound book is in very good condition. 2 CD set is also in good condition.
Forward:
This book takes you through step by step instructions on working out songs for the 5 string banjo from basic melodies in Bluegrass style and in Melodic Chromatic style. Each section also contains exercises and examples for improvising.
The first section and the second section deal with working out the basic arrangement of a song. The exercises involve replacing the x's around the melody with notes. The last section in the book deals with refining the arrangement of a song using advanced techniques. This section includes examples of songs showing how entire measures or licks can be replaced with licks from a sheet of suggested alternate, advanced licks.
All of the steps to arranging a song for the banjo discussed in this book, are based on the fact that banjo arrangements are actually combinations of specific patterns, (rolls, or licks), which are played according to the chords in the song.
