The definitive text on playing harmonics (chimes) on the 5-string banjo in G tuning! In addition to traditional chiming methods, the author’s new T3^N technique for creating banjo harmonics will add new dimensions to your playing. While particularly useful in the three-finger style, T3^N can be used in other banjo styles and on other stringed instruments.

Most banjo players are familiar with playing open-string harmonics on the 5-string banjo over the 12^th, 7^th and 5^th frets, or perhaps the 4^th and 9^th frets, so that in typical G-tuning, the open G-chord, D-chord, octave G-chord, and B-chord notes are chimed. With the T3^N technique presented in this book, entire scales can be chimed, with other harmonic effects including choking and sliding possibilities!

The first part of this book provides a review of traditional banjo harmonic chiming techniques, while the second part explores the exciting new T3^Napproach. Written in tablature only, for 5-string banjo in GDGBD tuning.
