  Adams County Banjo Tablature Book

This 59-page book contains banjo tablature transcribed from the Rounder CD "Adams County Banjo". It features tab for all of the banjo solos on each of the 15 tunes on the cd.

Tunings used: G-tuning (12 tunes), C-tuning (2 tunes), open C minor tuning (1 tune).

The material ranges from traditional bluegrass (John Henry, Worried Man Blues) to more contemporary sounds (Santa Cruz, Box Elder Beetles).

Tom's arrangement of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot provides an excellent example of how to play the same tune in different keys. Starting and ending in the Key of G, the middle solo is played in the Key of C.

Three Sailors From Dublin moves through four key changes, starting in the Key of F and moving through the Keys of Gm and Dm before ending in the Key of G.

The tab varies in difficulty from less complex arrangements (Farmer John) through more challenging tunes (Santa Cruz).
