O'Neill's Tunes For Clawhammer Banjo

A collection of jigs, reels and hornpipes from the O'Neill's Collection of Irish Dance Tunes arranged for clawhammer banjo.This is the second tab book from 'one of the banjo's true innovators' (Banjo Newsletter). Included are lots of tunes in different keys within the same tuning so you can build up some sets of tunes for medleys in sessions rather than having to retune or recapo all the time! However, there are plenty of tunes in G tuning, double C tuning and sawmill as well as one in a newly invented A major tuning that allows the banjo to get those lower notes of a tune that are usually out of the instrument's range.Please note the book is not aimed at beginners – the tunes are quite challenging although there is a fairly wide cross section of difficulties and there are a lot of detailed notes on how best to approach tabs in general and these tunes in particular.
