"The Manhattan Minstrel" Eddy Davis plays and talks about the use of the Flatted Fifth note and chord in Harmony or chords when playing music on the Tenor Banjo. Davis is playing his 12" head 17 fret custom OME Tenor Banjo.

There is a part 2 -- I'll put it up tomorrow or the next day. Some of you had requested this, so let's see how far it goes. I hope I made it understandable. Let me know. Eddy

I'm messing around with your b5 ideas Eddy, just seeing what you think. A little out there I know, but experimental.



Thanks Eddy
