Welcome to the February 2009 Banjo Sessions®!
In this issue Dan Levenson shows us how to use hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides with example from his great book "Clawhammer Banjo from Scratch.".

Michael Keyes presents Slow Hand Banjo. How to play slow tunes on Irish Tenor Banjo that he learned from a workshop by John Carty.

Bob Altschuler gives us more insight into how to make and use Harmonics . Whatever rings your bell...

I have added a Christmas favorite, Joy To The World, arranged for 3-finger banjo. You have a whole year to get it down.

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.

Let's pick!
