For years I have played a very rhythmic style of frailing and when I wanted a melody line I flat picked my five string. I have long thot that Pete Seegars basic style was a good working style for players who rely more on vocal music than instrumental. I think that it is also the style that Tommy Makem uses. It also sounds like the style Dave Guard used early on in the Kingston Trio.

I have never been able to decipher the TAB for this style in Pete's Red Banjo book. Does anyone have a mnemonic to help learn this? Or can you more clearly describe whats going on?

I have read that a book of Dave Guard's Trio TABS has recently been released. Has anyone seen the book?

Thanks up front for all the solid advice I'm sure will come this way.
