Kyle's Banjo Club - The Complete Third Year (130+ tabs)

Presenting Kyle's Banjo Club - The Complete Third Year! There are more than 130 tunes available in this collection. All songs are listed below with the original year, the source, and the banjo tuning. If there is an asterisk, that means it's one of my original banjo arrangements. Otherwise, it's most likely a transcription of a piece of historical banjo repertoire originally published in standard notation. Mp3s of each song are included. Starting in March 2024, all of the VIP Lounge tabs and mp3s are included as well.
