Pete Wernick -AcuTab Transcriptions Vol. I
ACUTAB
Transcribed from the playing of
Pete Wernick
This volume contains tabs for the banjo solos from
Pete's recent recording, On A Roll, plus a bonus section of four Hot Rize tunes.
Perhaps more so than any of our other books, this one promises to be especially
useful to less experienced banjo pickers or folks who have trouble with the extreme
stretches and tricky moves found in so much advanced banjo material. Pete has
devised a very unique style which utilizes fairly common left and right hand
patterns and positions in ways that are unexpected. The result is often music
that sounds far more difficult than it actually is. If you are interested in
exploring different sounds on your banjo - like 'new acoustic,' blues, swing
- this book can show you new ways to use the rolls and chord forms you already
know.
Of course, more experienced players can profit from a study of Pete's music as
well. Several pieces included in the book will challenge the best of us and his
frequent workouts in D and in non-standard tunings will prove helpful to banjo
pickers at any level.
But don't get the impression that Pete has ignored bluegrass banjo picking! Check
