Written by the late Frank Bradbury  Banjo Method provides a thorough grounding in music theory and note reading  along with a complete presentation of Mr. Bradburys unique 5-string concert banjo technique and outstanding solo and duet arrangements by various artists. The technique described here is radically different from that found in other books about the 5-string banjo  and no tablature is used. No plastic or metal picks are used on the right-hand fingers  nor are the fingernails used  but rather the bare fingertips. The hand positions recommended by Mr. Bradbury are not unlike those of a classical guitarist. All in all  this is an uncommon  but valid approach to solo banjo technique. Online audio of select pieces and exercises featuring Rob MacKillop now available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45650668519477,"sku":"ByrdShop_087166495X","price":67.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780871664952.jpg?v=1781799927","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mel-bays-banjo-method-c-tuning-concert-style-9780871664952","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
