Oversoul Clawhammer Banjo: Where to start? (26) RE: Clawhammer Banjo: Where to start? 20 Sep 00


Regarding the problems with Burke's book, you guys are right. There are some rough transcriptions, and Uncle Dave gets a bum rap (pardon the pun) in the introduction, but I still think it is a good investment. Burke did a good job getting that printed at all in 1968. Look at some of the shit that came later. The Burke thing was not perfect, but not JIVE. Polite banjoists told me some of the tunes were "impossible". Think about that all you tyro tablature titans who teach.
