Christmas Music Made Easy for Banjo by Ross Nickerson
Christmas Songs for Banjo Made Easy - By Ross Nickerson
Book with Recordings of Each Song at 3 speeds
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 banjo tab for the Christmas Songs 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 high quality studio recordings 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.
Songs Included: 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, Away in a Manger, What Child is This (Greensleeves), Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Joy to the World, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.

Unfortunately my publisher Mel Bay and many other publishers are phasing out CDs. It is easy access to the CD I recorded online through their website. However..
If you want a hard copy CD, spiral bound book and a DVD of these same songs I have a self published version here at this link

The Banjo Cruise Workshop is held in a large private conference room that is essentially sound proof and separate from all other passengers. The workshop takes place during the days we are at sea so you can visit all ports and still have plenty of time for fun with your spouse, family or friends while on the cruise.
