Description
The Early Minstrel Banjo Technique and Repertoire by Joe Weidlich and Joseph Weidlich is a comprehensive guide to playing the minstrel banjo. This book features over 65 classic songs, providing a unique opportunity to learn how to play like players from popular troupes in 1865. The book includes a detailed history of the banjo in the US during the antebellum period, as well as information on the construction of minstrel banjos and the evolution of lower-pitched tunings. It also covers idiomatic techniques specific to the minstrel banjo, as well as chapters on each of the seven major banjo methods published through the end of the Civil War. In addition to the instructional content, the book includes a reference list of contemporary string gauges and an extensive cross-reference list of minstrel banjo song titles.
