Old-Time Gospel Banjo Solos

Liked how quickly I received the item and the book was exactly what I was looking for!

This book has some of the good old hymns which sound great on the banjo. I just started back with the banjo and have found these to be good practice. I was able to get up to speed on some of the tune pretty quick. For most, if not all, songs, there is a beginner/intermediate version and then an intermediate version. This is good because if you play any of the songs in church it gives some good variety. One of the really nice things about this version is that the author has put in bold the notes that are the melody note, so they can be emphasized when playing. That way the melody comes out. It sounds like the songs and not a bunch of bluegrass notes.

This is an excellent banjo songbook for both beginners and more advanced players. Being a beginner, I appreciated having some songs that I could play right away. Plus there are more advanced "fancy" versions following each hymn that I'll be able to work into as I advance in my picking. Jack Hatfield's arrangements also have the melody notes bolded in the tab so it's easy to accent the melody notes without having to spend a lot of time figuring out what they are! My only regret is that the book does not contain many many more of these arrangements - I'd love to have more like this one!

great old time gospel songs and the tab is easy to read for my aging eyes. good renditions of the songs, but as always build on what is there and embellish to make them your own.

Not yet at his level, but trying to be.

One of the best banjo books I have. A good gospel songbook with excellent banjo tabs

Really like the up the neck tab.

Fine book for gospel banjo. A little beyond my reach technically. I need to read and be shown how to do a tune, but it's still good to have the music.

This is a great book for beginning to intermediate players
