20 Pieces From Briggs' Banjo Instructor Arranged for Uke

Book with online audio. Learn fashionable and evocative tunes from 19th-century America! Originally collected for the fretless minstrel banjo, many of these tunes were taught to Tom Briggs in Southern plantations, and were the sound of a new, vibrant America. Mixing early Black banjo music with European dances, a new popular music was born, which, in the following decades, would mature into ragtime and jazz. Arranged for fingerstyle ukulele, these sound great on either a standard uke or banjo uke. The audio contains performances of all 20 pieces by MacKillop on a banjo ukulele. Advanced. Note/tab. 24 pp.   More Details...
