Welcome to Banjo Sessions! - August 2005

A Bimonthly Webzine

Welcome to the August 2005 Banjo Sessions®! This issue we have Lee Thomas’ interview with Clawhammer great Dan Levenson with a tab from his upcoming book. Michael Keyes shares with us the third part of his series “Beginning Irish Traditional Banjo” with his article “The Right Hand.” Michael demonstrates the proper right hand technique. Michael has included downloadable video files. I’ve included an article demonstrating how to easily find melodies out of chord positions and transposing them to different keys.

If you have any suggestions for articles you’d like to see, please email me at gerald@AcousticMusician.com

Let’s pick!
