The collection is unique in that it includes reels, polkas, jigs, hornpipes, minstrel songs, ballads, light classics, and a Christmas tune--nearly all in C tuning with the fourth string a step lower than the typical 5-string G tuning. Well-known classical and popular composers: Beethoven, Foster, and Vivaldi, plus collector\/historian-authors: Converse, Emmett, Howe, Kerr, O'Neill, and Ryan--are all represented in this book.With the exception of two Twiss originals, the music was chosen from sources available circa 1840 - 1890. Some of these settings can be used as accompaniment to unison singing; all are designed to lie well on the 5-string fretboard for optimal playability. Using a custom-built fretted, nylon-string banjo, the author has provided online recordings of every tune for ease of learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mel Bay Publications, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513468662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.60w x 0.40d","brand":"Tim Twiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561409507509,"sku":"9781513468662","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_343cc7cc-de4c-447c-8d25-7cfcb5ac1b67.jpg?v=1723525311","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/early-5-string-banjo-solos-in-historic-19th-century-stroke-clawhammer-and-guitar-styles-9781513468662","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
