Grandpa Jones 5-String Banjo
by Mark Jones
Learn to play clawhammer from the best. Grandpa Jones was a country
music legend and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. He was very
well known and respected for his own style of clawhammer banjo. The
instructions are helpful for the beginner, with tips on caring for your
banjo to keep it sounding its best. The text covers tunings, chord
diagrams, and the right hand rhythm patterns that made Grandpa Jones
famous with the 5-string banjo. For the intermediate musician, there are
alternate tunings, drop thumb rhythm, and exercises for practicing your
new skills. Included are several favorite songs, along with lyrics and
chords for your accompanist. The preface of the book, written by Grandpa
Jones, along with the collection of personal photographs, makes this an
excellent keepsake as well. This is simply a must for your music library.
