Written for those with no musical experience, this is the definitive text for learning C-tuning concert, or classic-style 5-string banjo. Provides a thorough grounding in music theory and note reading, along with Bradbury's unique 5-string concert banjo technique and outstanding solo and duet arrangements. The technique is radically different from others: no tablature is used, no picks are used on the right-hand fingers, nor are the fingernails used, just the bare fingertips. The hand positions are not unlike those of a classical guitarist. This is an uncommon, but valid approach to solo banjo technique. 128 pp.
