Notes: Here's a wicked little banjo tune from the great Alan Munde and Country Gazette. Lots of "Dillard" roll here, and everything falls nicely under the fingers until the diminished run at the end, which is fairly prickly.... This is one you should have in your arsenal - enjoy! Skip Holmes.

Notes: Another student request - this is mostly melodic style. It's a common session tune around here and pairs nicely with "Devil's Dream" (which also works nicely in melodic style). I've tried to make it as playable as possible - have fun! Skip.

Notes: Here's a fairly easy arrangement of a Beatles classic in a chord melody style. The verse is in D and the chorus is in Dm. Don't let the chord names scare you, they're mostly two or three note shapes, with not too many big stretches.
Hope you enjoy it!

Notes: Here's a lovely little gem from the great Eric Weissberg that I rediscovered recently on an old LP. It's a little wonky in spots, but that's what makes it such a fun tune to play.... I hope you like it - Skip.

Notes: Here's a lovely little Irish polka that we often play with "John Ryan's" and "Dennis Murphy's" - not too difficult, mostly single string with some melodic. This is for you Lynn! Enjoy!

Notes: Here's one for all you strathspey fans - a classic by the "Strathspey King", J. Scott Skinner. It's a mix of single-string and melodic, but not too tricky, once you get used to the dotted rhythms. Enjoy! Skip Holmes.
