Lesson Pack Notes

This is special lesson set is a collection of the five most-requested tunes & songs that folks in the Play Better Banjo community have suggested over the last year or so.

This set covers a variety of keys and tunings (as explained below) and has a fairly balanced mix of instrumentals vs. songs.

Below you’ll find links to the provided tablature and also the ‘play along tracks’ that provide a basic rhythmic accompaniment to which you can practice along with once you’ve learned the tunes.

I’ve also included, when applicable, the lyrics that I use for the songs in this Lesson Pack. 

Of course, there are many lyrical variants for these well-worn songs so feel free to add or subtract any of your own lyrical choices as you see fit!

Good luck and, as always, please send me any questions you might have along the way:
