After three years of work, I am excited to announce the publication of my newest plectrum banjo method book: Beyond Chord Melody, Volume II: A Modal Framework for Jazz Improvisation! I am asking $40, plus shipping (options available).
Here is the Table of Contents, Course Synopsis, and Conclusion for your consideration, plus an exercise example from the book:
And here is the MP3 recording of exercise 85a (from the example). Scroll down to the Chapter 6 MP3s to hear the rest of them from that page:
Email me at banjoplayer1@yahoo.com for more information.
Here are the MP3 files that go with the book. Feel free to listen to or download them, but of course, you’ll need the book to make any sense out of them! If you buy the book and would prefer a CD or thumb drive containing the MP3s, I can do that too for an additional $2.
