Notes: Here is a tune I have played since a child on the recorder, and now other instruments. Here it is for Irish tuned Tenor/Plectrum. The stretch for some on the plectrum may be bothersome.

Notes: This is usually sung unaccompanied - hard to make it fit in bars / measures....... (For me anyway) I think this is how I play it. Take not of the slurs as these are usually just a single long note.

Notes: Blackberry Blossom rearranged to the 6/8 jig rhythm. Bare bones version, strictly following the original melody - usually one of four notes is omitted (I hope I've made the right choices). Just look at the sheet music. The selection of the last D note (low or high) depends on whether you are returning to the same section or continuing to the next one.

Notes: This is a tune written by Turlough O'Carolan. Sounds nice on a banjo, but I prefer to use a Tenor guitar tuned Irish GDae. This recording is of a converted Flat top 6 string guitar to Tenor. I have 2 PDF files up: 1 in 2/4 and one I transcribed into 4/4.
Hope you enjoy

Chicago Tuning Jazz Chord Chart with Inversions

Notes: For those who prefer Chicago Tuning I made this chart for chord shapes up the neck to the 12th fret for your basic jazz era repertoire. It includes as many 4 note chord voicing as I thought worked but I am no expert. I skipped most open chords to keep it simpler learning the movable shapes which you can transpose easy. It is organized by chord function so you can work with some substitutions as might fit chord solos or just regular accompaniment.

- Download from banjochrille.com

Notes: Foochow's Shanghai has been my first compostion for the tenor banjo, which I have dedicated to my good Scottish banjo friend Bill Somerville from Glasgow. It should adapt an Chinese touch, in style to Chinatown, My Chinatown. This tune was published in my second music book for the tenor banjo. Chrille's Hot & Jazzy Melodies For The Tenor Banjo Vol. II deals with wonderful compositions for the tenor banjo, which present the banjo in all it's characteristics. These are the songs: St. Louis Blues (W.C. Handy), Pepper & Salt (Ralph Colicchio), Foochow's Shanghai (Christian Loos), The Savoy Rag (Pete Mandell), The Ghost Of The Banjo (Roy Smeck) & My Lady Jazz (A.J. Weidt). As a first impression of the book you can enjoy my composition Foochow's Shanghai. As always you have a piano accompaniment on CD in three different speed levels.

Notes: Here is a tune I picked up in the 1970's. I first heard it by the Chieftains.
The song is written by some one named Paddy Moloney, supposedly for
a friend's wedding, who's name is Garech.
My playing may be a bit off here on the sound file (also on guitar), my apologies.
The transcript is from me playing a phrase and then notating it down on paper and then setting it up in Guitar Pro 6.

Hope you enjoy it;

Notes: Here is a tune that has stuck with me for over ten years now, and is a staple for me when I play at Old folks homes and such. On the fiddle I treat it as a ballad style, and on the Tenor Banjo more of a dance tune. I have heard many Irish bands play this tune at "sub-light speed", and then again have heard fiddlers play it quite slowly and sweetly. Hope you enjoy AJ

Notes: Chrille's Hot & Jazzy Melodies For The Tenor Banjo Vol. I is my first tenor banjo song book, in which I have arranged my favourite tenor banjo tunes. It is a sheet music book from a banjoist for other banjoists. These are the songs: Banjomania (Pete Madell), Bye Bye Blues (Traditional Jazz & Banjo Classic), I'll Get By (Turk & Ahlert), Marie (Irving Berlin), Pals, Just Pals (Dreyer & Ruby) & Take Your Pick (Pete Mandell). Here you have the chance to look inside the book and try to play an example page of "Take Your Pick". As always you have a CD with jazzy piano accompaniments for every song in three different speed levels. The perfect rhythm partner to play a long. Banjopower!
