ALL NEW ARRANGEMENTS will be posted in QUARTERLY 'New Tabs' pages above.

*  *  *
The vast majority of Tabledited arrangements that I produce are in the Key of G and are intended for upper level or experienced beginners to intermediate players, i.e., my goal is to provide relatively 'easy-to-play' and 'easy-to-understand' arrangements in numerous genres to the general banjo playing public.

Many arrangements are 'instrumental' in nature, i.e., no lyrics and no separate melody line.

More and more of the arrangements of tunes that feature vocals and lyrics are set in what I call "Fakebook" format (my term), where the 'melody as sung' is set on the top banjo staff and expressed with a MIDI harmonica voice to stand out from the rest of the arrangement on playback. The lyrics are set under the melody notes on the top staff and initially supported by Scruggs style or fingerstyle back-up. I see so many requests for 'what to do' to support the singer... Mine are very simple back-ups and do not incorporate the use of chokes. The verse back-up is usually followed by a Scruggs style solo set in a MIDI banjo voice to help it stand out from the rest of the MIDI voices in playback mode.

If you ever have questions about anything, you are always welcome to contact me via the e-address listed below. Thanks, Tom

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!
