Banjo Tablatures All the tablature selections here are my own arrangements and are all easily printable gif files. The tablature was created using the TabLedit program. This program is the best program on the market for writing and editing tablature OR standard musical notation. It is also easy to use. Some of the arrangements are tunes and breaks from songs I perform with Curly Maple. Some are arrangements of traditional tunes, and some are just tunes I like. I hope you enjoy them all. Please let me know what you think of them by dropping me a line at banjocraftsman@aol.com If you do not have TablEdit, download the full or free version here. See the difference for yourself!
Tablature selection A traditional tune that is played in a modern, bluesy style. It works well in the key of B, but can be played anywhere on the neck. Sounds great. Hear the midiThis tune does have a LOT of chords, so unless you are playing with some quality musicians, it may not be a great jam tune. It is, however, a powerful, jazz-like piece with room to improvise. It also sounds more difficult than it actually is as parts of this tune contain a repeating, only slightly tricky, right hand pattern. I think you will enjoy it, but be prepaired for the triplets I've added. The Munsters theme Hear the midi Cool, ear catching, instantly recognizable! This TV theme is in the key of G minor and it contains a lot of single string work but it's pace is such that that shouldn't scare you away. Del Shannon's rock classic! This is a Curly Maple classic, also! I play this tune without the very tricky timing the synthesizer played on the original, but this tune lends itself well to the 5 string banjo. It's also in the key of A minor, so if you need help in the minor key area, this is a great one to start with. El Cumbanchero Page 1 Hear the midi This tune's A part isn't too bad, but it contains a lot of chords. The B part's timing is very tricky, though. Listen to the midi and you'll be fine. This is my own arrangement, as are all the tunes here, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's in D miner and Curly Maple usually closes out the last set with this one. Enjoy! Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Page 1 Hear the midi Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Page 2 This tune is A Christmas classic. I have adapted a jazz style intro for it. You can learn it (it's pretty simple) along with the tune or skip to where the melody starts. Marry Christmas!!!
