Do any of you have some good 2-finger tabs?

Have you visited 2ftlbanjer.wordpress.com/ ?

Great resource!

there are a few index lead tabs on my BHO photo page and an audio tutorial on my BHO music page.

Chip, this is just what I've been looking for as well. I appreciate the explanation you give to the 2 finger style on your audio clips (and I do like that version of Elk River Blues you do as well, that's one to strive for!)

thanks dave, if you have a look at my friend's page (five12gal) on BHO we play elk river blues together with the a and b parts in proper order. amy is playing thumb lead 2-finger and i'm playing index lead 2-finger.

It's not very timely, but I put together TABs for 13 Christmas carols toward the end of last year. I've attached the book for your convenience.

Thank you Nathan. How kind of you. I had a look at it and finally I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Strange how complicated two fingers can sound.

Thanks to everyone else for their feedback. Will check it all out.

regards

Ian

That sounds great, and there's enough in that one tune to keep me busy for a while.

Nathan, its perfect timing for Christmas songs - 11 months to learn them. Thank you for this by the way.
Its excellent.

Art Rosenbaum's Old-Time Mountain Banjo has seven two-finger tabs, four in thumb-lead and three in index-lead.

The "Thumb-Lead Banjer" site is great! Not just tabs (which I've already printed, including the Christmas songs - thanks!), but also gives historical notes on the songs.

Nathan, what is the time signature in Away in a (Modal) Manger?

Thanks

Ian

Ian,

It's in triple meter, so 3/4 or 6/8 depending on how you feel it.
