Sittin' in the Catbird's Seat - Transcriptions of Banjo Tunes from the CD

I'm proud to announce the April 15th release of my new book,
"Sittin' in the Catbird's Seat - Transcriptions of Banjo Tunes from the CD".

A companion to the CD, it includes music, tablature, and fingering for all 17 tracks, as well as tips and tricks for banjo players, a poem "Banjo" by Tommy Thompson, and a brief section on reading music and music theory.

It is 48 pages in length, in an oversize, easy-to-read format, with a lay-flat, plastic coil binding that won't deform like metal ones.

It's suitable for all levels of players, as long as they are already familiar with the basics of frailing or clawhammer style. It will also be interesting for bluegrass pickers for its inclusion of my arrangement of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag", and another original finger-picking tune, "Peaceful Times".

Book and CD - $40

Book Only - $30
