Buckley's New Banjo Method

[Rob MacKillop]

Can anyone send me a photocopy or pdf of this method? Or is it published in facsimile?

That one is published and available...from Elderly for sure.

And now ordered...along with Rice and Converse.

You will be glad to have these classics. You now have the "Four Gospels".
I think that along with your gourd banjo, you will especially enjoy the Rice Book. It has great fingerings, and lots of activity with the thumb string. I really like that book...it's different.

If you get both of the Converse 1865 books, you'll have the early banjo quintet! What an ensemble!

I already have The Banjo And How To Play It, and also the Analytical. I like Converse a lot, and the whole crossover area between minstrel/classical, fretless/fretted and stroke/guitar technique. I have a fretless SSS Orchestra model, 28 inch string length (I think - well, its big) which is not quite the right instrument for the 1860-80s, but will certainly do me alongside the gourd for the earlier stuff.

I may be dreaming, but I'd love a new fretted Ashborn...but would have to sell a guitar first. Anyone in the market for a baroque guitar?
