Gerald Jones, Editor

Welcome to the February 2008 Banjo Sessions®!
In this issue Ira Gitlin helps us learn to render the melody in bluegrass style, Bob Altschuler gives us more in his series of Choking the Strings with examples of how to use them. Michael Keyes presents A Lesson with Ken Fleming a great Irish Tenor banjo player. Alan Munde shows us how to play the great Texas fiddle tune Sopping the Gravy. Lastly I present a fairly simple arrangement of a Bach minuet in three finger melodic style. There are a lot of videos and mp3 files to see and listen to so make sure you download them with the articles.

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

Let's pick!
