Summary of This Method
"THE UNIVERSAL METHOD FOR BANJO" guides the banjo player step by step, from the essential basics to the most current approaches. You start with key setup and adjustment points, then the method leads you toward solid and musical playing, emphasizing rhythmic precision and hand coordination. Designed for logical progression, it allows you to consolidate fundamentals while building a playing vocabulary immediately applicable in real situations.
The first part, dedicated to the 5-string banjo, explores posture and the right hand (basic rolls, alternating arpeggios, descending and ascending rolls), then the left hand with essential ornaments (slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs). Integrating melody into arpeggios and working on synchronization naturally leads you to the Scruggs style and its extensions: playing in positions, shifting, Drop C, D, and D + High A tunings, not forgetting back-up to effectively accompany other instruments. The method then delves into the Keith style (in G and D) as well as the Reno style, to broaden your palette and gain fluidity.
The "4-string tenor banjo" section opens with the instrument's history and plectrum work (down-up strokes, triplets), before diving into typical and highly instructive repertoires. You will find the fundamentals of Irish playing (Airs, Reels, Jigs) and the codes of Dixieland (rhythm, chord melody, tremolo, duo style), to develop both accompaniment and melodic playing. The CD is a real educational asset: the slow-down tracks allow you to dissect each gesture, while the 20 playbacks help stabilize the groove, refine phrasing, and encourage improvisation. Additionally, the method gathers essential chords for 5- and 4-string banjos, practical setup advice, and an overview of Bluegrass, Country, Irish, and Dixieland standards to situate your playing within both tradition and modern practice.
