Tools Techniques & Recipes for Playing Clawhammer Banjo-Whether you're explaining how to cook food or make great music there are two approaches that can be taken to writing a cookbook. One way is to give the reader a bunch of recipes and explain 'here's how to make the dish'. Another way is to teach them how to cook by sharing with them techniques for mixing flavors and the knowledge of when where and how to apply heat. With ideas on how to add your own touches it is easy to make the dish or the tune your own. The Clawhammer Cookbook takes the second of these paths. Michael Bremer doesn't tell the reader how to play the songs he teaches ways to approach arrange and personalise any tune helping them to develop their own unique style.The Clawhammer Cookbook features old-time music as well as pieces in a few other musical styles. This book comes complete with a CD containing demos of all the songs and examples to aid in the learning process.
