With its wealth of information on how technique can be tastefully applied, Back-Up Banjo is the definitive book on the subject of banjo accompaniment. Since a banjo player in a band plays accompaniment at least 75% of the time, it is extremely important to master playing in this style. Janet Davis offers specific suggestions for accompanying a vocalist or instrumentalist in a variety of styles-- and then provides musical examples illustrating her points. Janet breaks her concepts down into their basic components, making them crystal clear in lay terms. The various back-up techniques are separated into categories determined by song tempo, by lead instrument being accompanied, and by the area of the fingerboard in which the chords are being played. In notation and tablature. Includes access to online video and an extended play online audio recording which demonstrates the examples in the book.

    This book was just what I needed, when I needed it. It is the necessary banjo information that I really needed to help teach myself as best I can. Easy to understand and to the point that I will be using it for a long time to just get better...

    and someday even reference. Thanks Janet Davis, I personally have not been able to find another book that covers this kind of material so well. It would surely be the help that would perpetuate me into banjodom if only I had a little bit of talent.
