Cap't Bob	5 string banjo in English folk (34)	RE: 5 string banjo in English folk	04 Oct 04
The modal tuning GUY WOLFF mentions works really well for a number of Celtic tunes. I especially like playing "Coleraine" in this tuning. There are also a great number of tunes that can be played on the 5 string using "melodic style" picking. Three books that I would recommend if you want to try the melodic style are: "IRISH JIGS FOR MELODIC STYLE 5 STRING" by Harold Streeter This book has arrangements for solo and duet banjo/s ~ a lot of work but worth the effort "MELODIC BANJO" by Tony Trischka "MELODIC STYLE 5 STRING BANJO" by Neil Griffin (a Mel Bay pub.)
