This book presents more than 70 tunes in the unique, highly developed clawhammer style known as 'Round Peak' -named after the Blue Ridge Mountain, North Carolina community where it originated. While not intended for the absolute beginner, this book will benefit players at various experience levels. Tunes in the book are organized according to the specific Banjo tuning used, with A and D tunings most prominent. Much of the book's commentary and the audio download recording is directed towards the fretless variant of the 5-string Banjo but as these tunes are written in standard 5-string Banjo tablature, they can most definitely be played on the more common fretted instrument. Includes tune, lyrics and extensive historical and biographical notes plus technical tips and a discography.Written in 5-string Banjo tablature only.Audio download available online.Includes these songs:Arkansas TravelerBaby-oBackstep Cindy (Step Back Cindy)Big-Eyed RabbitBreaking Up ChristmasChilly WindsCluck Old HenCotton-eyed JoeCripple CreekDarling Nellie GreyDucks on the Mill Pond Fall on My Knees (Lonesome Road)Fire On The MountainFisher's HornpipeForkey DeerFortuneFrankie Baker (Frankie and Albert)Greasy StringGroundhogIda RedJohn Brown's DreamJohn HardyJohn HenryJune AppleKitty Clyde (Katy Cline)Let Me Fall (Old Hard Road)Little MaggieLonesome Road Blues (Going down the Road Feeling Bad)Mississippi SawyerNew River TrainOld Buck (Paddy on the Turnpike)Old Bunch Of KeysOld Jimmy SuttonOld Joe ClarkOld Molly HareOld-Time Backstep CindyOld-Time RubenOld-Time Sally AnnPiney Woods GalPolicePolly Put The Kettle OnPoor Ellen SmithPretty Little GalPretty PollyProduct Information
