This course covers the bluegrass melodic style from the very basics to advanced techniques and provides many well-known, fun-to-play songs arranged in the three-finger melodic style. The pieces in this book are suitable for upper level beginning players to advanced level players. Access to downloadable audio is included. The bluegrass melodic style is a beautiful three finger picking style which can be traced to the early 1900's. It became a fully accepted style for playing the five-string Banjo in the 1960's, and is today an integral part of the three-finger style of many Banjo players at all playing levels. Songs arranged in the bluegrass melodic style are easy and fun to learn. Although the impressive-sounding style may sound impossible to learn with all of those notes coming from it, surprisingly you will find that it is not that difficult and no previous musical knowledge is required in order to pick it up.
