While providing material for "classical banjo" enthusiasts who want to expand their playing, it also allows you to deal with what was perhaps the earliest type of music theory known - that of the modal scales. It gives you the chance to play in different keys, tempos and chords than you are used to. It teaches different types of form structures, and helps keep you from relying on the 5th string too much. Every piece is presented first in a vertical chordal arrangement, which was the way it was originally intended, and then arranged in a more linear horizontal style, using perpetual motion which is much more familiar to today's player. Great for finger limbering exercises. With glossary of terms. Tablature only. Intermediate. 100 pp. ($19.99) ]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:00:00 -0500 http://elderly.com/books/items/02-96573BCD.htm http://elderly.com/books/items/02-96573BCD.htm This unique book of scales and arpeggios for banjo covers all of the major and minor keys.
