This  method  is  designed  for  learning  the  finger  style  five-string  banjo  in  a  larger  musical  context  than  previous  single  style  based  methods.    The  Modern  5-String  Banjo  Method  builds  the  theoretical  and  technical  foundations  needed  to  play  in  many  styles.    Beginning  with  a  thorough  grounding  in  the  scales  and  chords  coupled  with  well  thought  out  fingerings  in  the  keys  of  C,  Am,  and  G,  the  student  is  presented  with  melodies,  chord  melodies,  the  folk  strum,  arpeggios,  and  the  beginnings  of  the  bluegrass  banjo  style.    The  varied  and  beautiful  musical  studies  and  exercises  come  from  many  traditions  and  offer  a  logical  and  organic  approach  to  learning  the  five-string  banjo  leading  the  student  to  an  authentic  understanding  of  the  processes  and  techniques  needed  for  creating  music  on  the  five-string  banjo.    The  Modern  Method  for  Five-String  Banjo  is  in  tablature  only.
