Description

Twelve classic gypsy jazz guitar solos arranged for 5-string banjo in the original keys in which Django Reinhardt recorded them. The solos featured in this collection span a range of eight different keys, all of which are performed in standard G tuning and without the use of a capo. This book is recommended for intermediate and advanced players looking to expand their knowledge of the banjo fingerboard outside the bluegrass norm. Presented in tab and standard notation, with left hand fingering suggestions and ideas for right hand solutions, all songs contain detailed performance notes as well as various suggestions and recommendations for adapting Django's guitar techniques to the particular tendencies of each individual banjo student. Includes a selected discography and bibliography.
