If you want to hear bluegrass I have to disappoint you. I think this one is not really bluegrass. Now you can chose which version you prefer. The Prelude played solo or with 2 additional violins. It is the same piece as one click above. But eyerything is recorded again. The banjo you hear on this recording is my new huber. The solo version features my old japanese fake RB-250. On the huber the intonation is much better and the notes are clearer. The hardest part was composing the piece and finding two matching melody lines. On banjo this piece seems to be easy, but as far as sound is concerned it is difficult. As usual everything is played by myself. Tab is ready for email, just ask.

Wow! Being someone who plays in the "half-barbaric twang" school of CH, it's good for me to be reminded of what a big banjo world it is out there. Outstanding! Dave

Your compositions are nothing short of fantastic, but if you are not careful, people are going to start taking banjo seriously! Someday I am going to pull out my banjo and some kid is going to roll his eyes and say, "Great. Classical music. *sigh*"
On second thought, I think its worth the risk. I know what you mean about the banjo part. Sounds easy and straight forward, but one slip will stand out like a sore thumb. Very well played on all fronts. Keep 'em coming, and let us know when you decide to put out a CD. I will want one.

Exellent tune! It reminds of final fantasy. Plus the progressive bottom to high notes makes it sound like the intro of final fantasy. Its thematic. Adding extra fiddle just made it sound fuller. Great tune :)
