Synopsis

Learning how to play the banjo can be challenging, but Anna E. Uptain has created a book that starts you out playing an easy to learn style of banjo called "up-picking". Up-Picking is a great melodic/chordal style of playing that incorporates a strum and a plucky 5th string which makes for a great solo style, as well as a great accompaniment. In teaching this style in her classes, Anna has found that most beginners have success with up-picking and it also makes for an easy transition to the three finger style of banjo playing. In this book you will learn how to read and play tablature, chords, hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides. All are incorporated into many favorite old time, traditional songs.
