Hi Matt.....I think Pete Seeger"up" frails rather than the more usuual "down" frailing. (picking the mellody note upwards rather than striking the string it downwards. (Where's my anorak?).

I used (and still pinch tunes and arrangements from) Mel Bay's "Frailing The 5 String Banjo" written by Eric Muller and Barbara Koehler which comes with a CD too. I can thoroughly reccomend it. As well as having clear instructions and lots of tunes it also has some great photos of Old Time Appalachian scenes.
