New & Complete Method For The Banjo - 1865 (ukulele tabs, pdf + mp3)
Here is a complete tablature transcription of Frank B. Converse's New & Complete Method For The Banjo from 1865! All 80 pieces have been arranged for re-entrant ukulele. This new tablature edition makes it possible for anyone with a ukulele to learn all of these classic banjo tunes. All of the tunes in the book use C tuning, gCEA. Your purchase comes with mp3s of the entire book to help you learn each song. This book goes from quite easy to very challenging as you work through the book. You will need a tenor ukulele for some of the arrangements later in the book.
With re-entrant tuning, this means that the strings aren’t tuned lowest to highest like on a guitar. Most ukuleles that you see are strung and tuned like this by default with the lowest pitched string being the third string of the instrument. If you have a soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele, you generally need to buy a special set of low G ukulele strings to get non re-entrant tuning. The 5-string banjo is also a re-entrant instrument which is something that makes these work on ukulele so well.
