More Bach! New Recording of Gigue from Partita #3
I posted a video clip of this earlier but HERE.is the new audio clip of the Gigue from Partita #3 arranged for solo banjo and recorded by Dave Gannett.
I changed the key to G to better accommodate the 5 string. I find it sits really well in G, my only regret being contributing to the overuse of that key.
You can see the video clip and tablature HERE.Try a little tenderness in playing this one. It also lends itself to a bit of push pull in the tempo (although I may have overdone it in the recorded version).

Mr. Mouth - New Recording and Tablature of Original Tune
Another tune I recorded with Dave Gannett you can listen to HERE. Tishomingo plays this one almost every show and it's one I really like playing.
Here is the tablature for those interested (click to enlarge)....

New Recording of the Bourree from J.S. Bach's Cello Suite #3
I arranged this Bourree for solo banjo and recorded it with the great Dave Gannett. You can listen to the recording HERE.
It is in C tuning (gCGBD)and the cellists I listened to played it largely with an impassioned sensitivity which I tried my best to replicate on an instrument not best known for its sensitivity.
If you would like to try playing it here is the tablature...

Tablature for 'Something in the Way'
I had a request for the tablature to Nirvana's 'Something in the Way', a tune I had posted a video of about a month ago, so here you have it...
Forgot to note it on the sheet but the tuning is standard open G with the 5th string spiked to A.
