34 songs transcribed and arranged from Frank Converse's "Analytical Banjo Method" (1887). After the Civil War, the up picking style of playing the 5-string banjo came into vogue. The original down picking style didn't entirely die out, because new methods often included a number of songs in the older two-finger style. The most intricate set of songs to appear in the "original" banjo style were these 34 "Progressive Pieces," which can perhaps be considered the pinnacle of "Banjo Style" in terms of the fluid and intricate technique required to play them. A nice mix of characteristic pieces, medleys and new compositions from Converse. The introduction covers various unique techniques and an appendix gives you performance notes for every tune. Tablature only. 62 pp.
