More Minstrel Banjo Frank Converse's Banjo Instructor
Performance Notes and Transcriptions by Joseph Weidlich


This particular book of banjo music comes from Frank Converse's Banjo Instructor, Without a Master published at the end of the Civil War in 1865.

It includes banjo solos, jigs, songs, reels, walk arounds and more. The tunes are progressively arranged in tablature "tab" notation and clearly explained so you can become a proficient minstrel-style banjoist without the aid of a teacher.


If you're looking to play authentic minstrel-style banjo tunes like folks played during the Civil War and mid-nineteeth century, then this book is for you.

Contains 30 tunes with tablature only (no lyrics).
