Banjo Newsletter Review

Art Rosenbaum’s “Old-Time Banjo Book” is a terrific project that deserves to be in the library of every banjo picker from beginners to professionals.

Not only does it offer a great repertoire of interesting tunes and painstakingly introduce the student to dozens of cool and unusual banjo tunings, but it also offers what amounts to a survey course of traditional banjo-picking styles. Straight clawhammer and drop-thumb clawhammer are represented of course, but so is “overhand” (a clawhammer variant), Seeger-style up-picking, thumblead 2-finger picking, index-lead 2-finger picking, several variants of 3-finger picking, along with several hybrids.

To put this work into perspective, it very thoroughly and effectively covers an important area of banjo playing which has hitherto been left virtually untouched by the field of old-time banjo instruction.
