Welcome to the August 2009
Banjo Sessions®!

In the last issue of Banjo Sessions Bob Altschuler presented his version of Blackberry Blossom. This issue features a follow up of the tune with variations.

Michael Keyes explains why some players are so much better than others and explains how you can get better with what he calls Deep Practice!

I've had several requests for some Vivaldi adapted to the banjo so I’ve arranged the third movement of Vivaldi’s Concerto in D for Lute on the five string banjo.

There are video and mp3 files to see and listen to so make sure you download them with the articles.

The next issues will feature articles by Winfield champion Randal Morton, along with great clawhammer banjo tips by Dan Levenson and more...

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