| | Ashokan Farewell - Jay Unger
Melodic style with chord strums to fill out the arrangement for solo playing. Key of G. Not at all hard to play. |
|
| | Baby Elephant Walk - Henry Mancini
A three part banjo 'trio'... The first banjo plays the main melody melodic style while the 3rd banjo plays the left hand boogie. The 2nd banjo adds BG back-up and a jazz variation at the end. Fun stuff. Not too terribly hard to play... 12-6-2011 Listen to the MIDI sample file on the NEW TABS page... |

A fakebook arrangement in the key of G, with ALL lyrics and a fairly easy-to-play, mostly open-position, Scruggs style solo. See NEW TABS pag for the MIDI sample file. |

| | Chord Studies
These studies were created by me to push my own boundaries in terms of advanced harmonic mechanisms... meaning, when I'm tired of the old I, IV, V chord changes, I'll stretch my ears, fingers and imagination by looking for harmonic movement inside individual chords as well as between groups of chords. The biggest commonality between these types of exercises is "Harmonic Movement"... chords that are moving, going somewhere, leading the ear from one set of changes to another set within the same chord progression by moving individual notes within the chord, changing the name and nature of the first chord as the measures pass until it becomes the beginning of yet another sequence of similar smooth-moving harmonies heading for the final tonic chord. |
|
| Chord Studies - Advanced Subtle Chord Movement (Light Jazz - Pop)
Exercise/studies that feature subtle chord movement via voice leading, also called subtle 'chord-transitioning'... where one note in a chord continually moves creating very smooth chord changes that transition slowly and smoothly as the name of the chord changes slowy and smoothly also. Very easy on the ear and fairly easy to play. When you get tired of the same old I, IV, V chord changes... this is the place to look! |
