20 Pieces from Briggs Banjo Instructor

Learn fashionable and evocative tunes from 19th-century America! Originally collected for the fretless minstrel Banjo, many of these tunes were taught to Tom Briggs in Southern plantations, and are the sound of a new, vibrant America. Mixing early Black Banjo music, with European dances, a new popular music was born, which, in the following decades, would mature into ragtime and jazz. Rob MacKillop arranged these pieces for fingerstyle Ukulele. They sound great on either a standard Uke or on a Banjo Ukulele. Includes access to audio recording containing performances of all 20 pieces by Rob MacKillop on a Banjo Ukulele.
