Subject: Celtic banjo music on the internet From: GUEST,mereflesh Date: 10 Jan 02 - 12:28 PM Have just started playing 5-string banjo, with the aim of playing celtic (particularly scottish) tunes, a la Billy Connolly. Unfortunately Im having difficulty finding any arrangments. Does anyone know of resources, on the internet or otherwise, for this kind of thing or will I largely have to transcribe tunes myself? |

If you frail then try Ken Perlman's "Basic Clawhammer Banjo" or try Tony Sullivan's "The Irish G Banjo" or if you do 3 finger style try Tom Hanway's "Complete book of Irish & Celtic 5 String Banjo" all these can usualy be found at Elderly instruments at www.elderly.com |

Subject: RE: Celtic banjo music on the internet From: Geoff the Duck Date: 10 Jan 02 - 08:28 PM I seem to have mistyped my clickies so that they appear to run together. There are 2 separate links above. Perhaps a Joeclone could fix the HTML to separate the two ? Quack GtD |

Subject: RE: Celtic banjo music on the internet From: GUEST,mereflesh Date: 11 Jan 02 - 09:01 AM Cheers Charcloth/Duck bloke. Have been playing fingerstyle guitar for years, so know the theory of what I'm doing but am currently translating skills across to the banjo. I myself am from Scotland and love hearing small bands that turn up in pubs all the time doing traditional music, and quite often they'll have banjo players (both 4 and 5 string). My searches for this type of music, as always, produces loads of Irish stuff, which is nice enough but not entirely what I'm looking for. I get the feeling that Scottish tunes are largely played by ear, and that I'll have to work from basic fiddle manuscript to build up any sort of repertoire. But, in the meantime, the above solutions are handy for getting going. Oh, and in style I suppose its closer to bluegrass than anything else. Thanks guys |

There are number that would be helpful, even if they are not specifically "Scottish" or "Celtic." For example, you might look carefully at Bella Fleck's book (also at Elderly). Good Luck! |
