The Korena take
The Great American Banjo Songbook brings 70 melodies to 3-finger, Scruggs-style 5-string banjo in arrangements by Alan Munde and Beth Mead-Sullivan. Every selection pairs rhythm tab with right-hand fingerings and chord diagrams, so the arrangement details are kept alongside the song. The repertoire includes “Blue Skies,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Over the Rainbow,” and “Sweet Georgia Brown.”
