Pik-Ware Publishing announces The How and the Tao of Old Time Banjo

The How and the Tao of Old Time Banjo by Patrick Costello is a comprehensive guide for all banjo lovers. Novices and old-timers alike will benefit from clear and easy to understand presentations on subjects like the basic strum, melody, rhythm, scales, modes, playing by ear, playing while singing, drop thumb and much more. The author also entertains readers with many heart warming and sometimes amusing accounts of his musical adventures.

The How and the Tao of Old Time BanjoČ is also offered as an enhanced ebook on CD ROM. Every technique, scale, song and lick is clearly demonstrated using video, audio and midi files accessed via a point and click interface. Learning to play the banjo has never been easier thanks to digital technology.

Patrick Costello is a musician, teacher and innovator who is considered by many to be one of the best frailing (old time) banjo players to emerge since the last days of vaudeville. He has inspired students the world over with the Funkyseagull line of CD ROM video music workshops and he works tirelessly to assist anyone who wishes to play a stringed instrument.

A promotional tour will be forthcoming with visits to music shops, bookstores and other venues. The program will include demonstrations of various techniques from the book along with a hands-on workshop that will address topics such as what type of banjo should I buy and I've always wanted to play the banjo.
