<p>For tabs I would primarily suggest Joe Weidlich's book. Bob Flesher's books are also good, but he has taken a few liberties.</p>

<p>I used to play a sax long ago but the ability to read sheet music never really came back but to be fair I have not given too valiant an effort. I can consume a lot of tabs which why I like em. I feel like the rice book is gonna help it all kinda click tho. Also playing songs I already know by memory while looking at the notation really helps connect the dots too.<br></br><br></br>Either way, that is good to know because if I start tabbing either of the two books out at least it will potentially be…</p>

I have not seen tab versions of Rice or Buckley, though Bob Flesher's books have quite a few selected pieces from both of them as well as Converse.<br />
<br />
I decided to break away from tab after a couple of months of playing, since reading notation opens up all of the period materials, not just those that others have selected. Then again, my background as a symphonic musician made it pretty easy to teach myself to read banjo music from notation.

<p>I am curious, are the rice or first buckley book available as tab anywhere? I spent a bit a time on the rice book over weekend and found that the brain begins to read the notation in the book on it's own after a while (not really but kind of). If i think about it too much my brain breaks but I sort of got it to half click over the weekend. i swear a few months ago i played juba with the aid of tim's videos and when i got to where did you come from i quit the rice book assuming i was missing…</p>

But now it's workin a lil better for me.</p>

<p>As you find editing errors, let me know. Perhaps someday I'll make a formal publication. I think we all need it. The tab has been done, but notation is difficult to read. Just a hunch now-I bet he had this done for quite a while. Not really in the fold of 1865 is it? He had the wild Green Book the. 2 in the same year??? nah Rice used that old format of description too. Quite "thumby" as most notice.</p>

<p>I would say that the Yellow Book is as solid and definitive of Stroke as the Briggs. Very consistent. Worth looking in the 1886 to see how he changed his concept...a bit.</p>
