Hal Leonard Unleashes a Banjo Bonanza
Clawhammer Cookbook and 101 Banjo Tips Ready for Picking at NAMM

It outlines ways to approach, arrange and personalize any tune, serving up a healthy helping of old-time music, and expanding the clawhammer palate to other musical styles.
Ready to take your banjo playing up a notch? Do it with101 Banjo Tips: Stuff All the Pros Know and Use (HL00696647 / $14.99), the latest from banjo expert Fred Sokolow. He presents valuable how-to insight from which banjo players of all styles and levels can benefit.
