Twelve Easy Tabs for Clawhammer Banjo - Key of D

by David Brooks

Revised: Thanks to reader feedback, I have been able to make the tabs larger and darker to improve their readability.

This ebook contains easy-to-play clawhammer banjo tabs for 12 traditional tunes commonly played in old-time jams and dulcimer society gatherings across the U.S. The tunes use Double-C tuning with the pitch raised to the key of D via capo or tuning up. The tunes will introduce the beginning clawhammer player to the many benefits of Double-C tuning. David Brooks arranges tunes and writes tablature that is easy to understand and that helps you unlock the secrets of clawhammer banjo. Brooks has taught at Kentucky Music Week and leads old-time jams in Louisville, KY. Tunes include:

Angeline the Baker
Grey Cat on a Tennessee Farm
Liberty
Little Liza Jane
Over the Waterfall
Rock the Cradle Joe
Simple Gifts
Soldier's Joy
Southwind
Spotted Pony
Whiskey Before Breakfast
Wildwood Flower

The tabs are viewed best on a large-screen Kindle device, such as the Kindle Fire, Kindle for the iPad, and Kindle for the PC or Mac. On most devices, you can click on the tab image, rotate the device to display the tab in landscape mode, or expand the screen with your fingers to increase its size and readability.
