Here is the Forgotten Heritage: Great Banjo Music! Discover the birth of the
American fingerstyle banjo in this collection of 28 of the finest tunes culled
from banjo publications between 1860 and 1887. Learn amazing banjo music by some
of the early leading players, James Buckley, Albert Baur, and the great Frank B.
Converse, the greatest virtuoso of his day. From folk-style dances to parlor
dances such as the Polka, Mazurka and Schottische, to advanced Romantic-period
classical-style solos. Can be played on modern banjos or period-style
instruments. The CD recording by Rob MacKillop features a gut-strung banjo, and
is played with the flesh of the fingertips, in the old American tuning. For
modern instrument players, Rob has provided TAB and a Standard Notation stave at
modern banjo pitch. Clawhammer players will find many of the pieces in the book
suitable for their technique, and bluegrass/fingerstyle players will be able to
play all the pieces. Rob MacKillop provides a fascinating introductory essay,
placing the music in its historical context, while his CD of performances can be
viewed as a stand-alone recording by a leading player in the revival of this
great American banjo heritage. Overall Difficulty:
