Heads up...this book does not contain "Scruggs Style" or "Clawhammer" banjo tabs but rather the tabs are all "melodic". The songs selections are a great cross section of Christmas Carols which everyone will undoubtedly enjoy but be aware that your Scruggs style rolls will be useless to you here. If you enjoy melodic banjo, however, this is your Christmas Season banjo tab book.

All the songs are written "melodic" style. I'm a self-taught banjo player and this was my first foray into "melodic" banjo. Although these songs were challenging, once I understood how to play them, I spent hours playing these songs and still pull the book out during non-holiday times to play them. Beginning players will be challenged, but with some patience and practice, you will have a lot of fun playing these songs.

Seeing as it's almost the festive season, i thought an alternative to the usual 'mad for it' mdma & lucozade parties, would be to try a Banjo Christmas. Now i am not sure how well this will work, as it is my first Banjo Christmas, but we shall see. My neighbour (who lives in a gilded cage of truffles) is a devote christian (born-again Church of the lesser breeze) and tells me that this is a great (and right-on kids) way to celebrate "christmas-ness" (his word not mine) without offending any laws. I have already learnt some tunes and can manage Goldies 'Jah the Seventh Seal' and King Tubby's 'Once in Royal David's Dub'
To improve things i will now see if i can hooked up the drum machine and drop a few tabs - i will be buzzin'!!!
