It helps the intermediate student quickly play with power, accent, and improved timing. It also includes lots of "up the neck" breaks. This bluegrass songbook features tabs for each song and the Audio Tracks contain all of the music in the book played at two or more speeds. Songs include Amazing Grace, Cripple Creek, Blackberry Blossom, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Wildwood Flower, Old Joe Clark, Nine Pound Hammer, When The Saints Go Marching In, Red Haired Boy, and others. Geoff Hohwald has played and taught the banjo for more than forty years. He originally studied with the likes of John Hickman and Robbie Robinson and later came under the influence of other legendary performers such as Earl Scruggs, Bill Keith, J.D. Crowe and Sonny Osborne. Geoff wrote his first instructional book in 1979, and since then he and Bert Casey have sold almost 900,000 books and videos worldwide. Geoff spent thirty years and traveled thousands of miles in a quest for the licks that capture the true essence of bluegrass banjo. For the first time he has compiled the results of a lifetime of listening, searching, analyzing, and refining in a single edition. He would like to thank Billy McKinley, Sandy Rothman, Herb Trotman, Ted Billeadeaux, Tom Dew, Mike Mason, Judge Parker, Kerry Warbington, Joe Zalik, and Harry Sparks for their contributions to this book. Geoff has also written the Banjo Primer book and video course. Used Book in Good Condition
