presents the
Joy of Christmas Banjo
DVD and Tab Book by Ross Nickerson
12 popular Christmas favorites
Arrangements
made easy to learn and play
   
Hark
the Herald Angels Sing, We Three Kings of Orient Are, We Wish You a Merry
Christmas, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Deck
the Halls, What Child is This (Greensleeves), Jingle Bells, Silent Night,
Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, and Away in a Manger.
All
arrangements are easy to play and learn. I wrote the arrangements so you
could hear the melody clearly without having to be an advanced player
to get the satisfaction of playing the song so you recognize the tune.
These types of songs are excellent for your development because you know
the tune so well, you will instinctively improve your own ability to play
and accent melody notes. I'm very proud of my arrangements. I think you
will enjoy them and learn a lot from the DVD too. There are some slower
songs, several in minor keys and 3/4 time tunes too. Many students have
told me it's the best Christmas Banjo Book out there. Thanks, Ross
Nickerson
The
Joy of
Christmas Banjo Song Book comes as
a three disc set. The DVD demonstrates each of the songs on high quality
DVD video at either two or three speeds. The second disc is an audio
CD included has
all the songs at three speeds and a practice play along track for each
song. The third disc is a CDR disc
of the book. Having the book on CDR keeps from shrinking down the tab
to fit in the DVD box, the full size tab book will be much easier to learn
from and it
saves
10.00 off the price, 3.00 off shipping too.
The tab book includes learning tips on each song, the chords to each song
written out separately and detailed tablature indications with accents
marks for melody notes and right and left hand fingerings. The Audio CD
included has
all the songs at three speeds and a practice play along track for each
song.

 Christmas
Music Made Easy for Banjo
by Ross Nickerson
Easy
to play five-string banjo arrangements of twelve Christmas favorites by
banjo master Ross Nickerson. Each song is arranged and performed using
proper three-finger bluegrass technique. The arrangements are carefully
designed to bring out the melody, but easy enough for a beginner or intermediate
player to learn quickly.
The tablature in the
book is large and easy to read with accent marks for melody notes, as
well as right and left-hand fingering indications. This book is not simply
a tablature book! Christmas Music Made Easy for Banjo also features instruction
on learning the chords to each song, chord progression charts for each
song, special learning tips for each arrangement, a full page of advice
on memorizing the songs and more. In the instructional sections of the
book Ross draws on his many years of experience teaching students privately
to anticipate and point out the most common obstacles and challenges with
each song. This section also features a page of general advice that includes
suggestions on the best use of practice time and how to develop the skills
needed to succeed with each piece. Additionally, Christmas Music Made
Easy for Banjo features a high quality studio recorded CD of all the songs
played at three speeds including a backup rhythm track to practice along
with. Also included is a page entitled Advice on using the CD and Rhythm
Tracks to help ensure that the student fully utilizes the audio recordings
to learn the songs more efficiently and with greater ease.

Hark the
Herald Angels Sing, We Three Kings of Orient Are, We Wish You a Merry
Christmas, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Deck

E-Book
option- Download and print out the book
yourself, save on shipping and time receiving it. This was the first E-Book
we offered at BanjoTeacher.com. It saved time for students wanting to
learn Christmas songs before Christmas and it also beat the holiday shipping
rush. It is now available as an immediate download after purchasing.
The
book comes as an easy to download and print out PDF file. We'll also send
you included with the E-Book the tabledit tab files so you can hear, see
and even edit the songs if you like. Tabledit offers a free viewer if
you don't already have it. I'm very excited about this! The convenience
to the customer with immediate delivery and no shipping charges is a fantastic
alternative.
Zip
Files: I now have the tracks from the CD of the songs recorded at
a slow and medium speed to help you learn. The book in PDF, the CD tracks
and the tabledit soundfiles are all on the same webpage to listen to and
download. I also just made it so you can download all the files needed
in one zip file.

I recorded Oh Come all Ye Faithful on this CD from
Pinecastle. I tabbed out the solos from the recording. It has two breaks,
down and up the neck, both different from the one in this book. I think
you’ll enjoy the CD and I’ll throw in the tablature for my solos
free if you buy the CD at BanjoTeacher.com.
