BanjoTeacher.com presents the Joy of Christmas Banjo DVD and Tab Book by Ross Nickerson 12 popular Christmas favorites Arrangements made easy to learn and play
|
Songs Include:
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.

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.
