Banjo Lessons

with Jim Shaw

This page contains recodings that go with an OLD version of my banjo "book(s)".  The first five use two (and three) finger picking, the remainder use frailing.  Even though they do not match the current written lessons, you might find them useful.

01 Intro ... This Land Is Your Land

02 Titi ... Drunken Sailor

03 Runs ... Red River Valley

04 Keys ... You Are My Sunshine

05 Rolls ... Sloop John B

06 Frailing

07 Oh, Susanna

08 A tuning ... Old Joe Clark

09 Double D ... Arkansas Traveller

10 A modal ... Frosty Morning

11 Durang's Hornpipe; Mason's Apron
