Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

From Kerr's Vol 4. Ha, false start...I thought of doing a pull off from F# to E after I started. Still working in cool fingerings. Little things change the playability and character.

I remember in the beginning I would lock up, not knowing how to approach a song like that, as I have moved through this my fears have subsided.

I might add, that knowing how to read notation and the more I do it on a regular basis is what really has opened those barriers.

I worked out a tune from just standard notation today too, Nicholas.  Only 8 measures total, and it took me about 40 minutes to figure out how it was supposed to sound, with the sharps... but I did it!   :)  It was regular SMN though, not 'tutor notation'....which is a whole additional subspecies.  (d'OH! )
