Voted one of the top 10
clawhammer banjo players
by Banjo Newsletter
readers, Levenson advises
the reader that the
tablature in this book is
to be used only as a
guide and to play the
tune as you hear it, not
slavishly as written.
This approach allows the
reader to play within
his/her style and level
of ability. Includes
access to online
audio.
