The Tony Trischka Collection

Great tabs from the master. Now ... practice, practice, practice.

I'm an avid fan of Tony's music. His approach is so unique, while sticking to the tune of the melodies. Tony's technique is simply amazing, and he applies it tastefully. When Tony does wonder off into the blue, it's only for short bursts, and his fun embellishments are always complementary.I was so excited to see a single book housing the majority of Tony's music. Along with his Solo Banjo Works tab, this makes up a great deal of Tony's "classical library". I'm anxious to see a new book in the future with songs from Territory, to continue my collection.The book is very easy to use, readable and alphabetically organized. Each tune is preceeded by a short intro from Tony, depicting little factoids and often including helpful hints for left and right hand movements.I truly appreciate books like this. It's not often that the world is allowed such intimate details of a master's work. Thanks Tony!

With some work and practice you too can pretend you know what you're doing when you pick up a banjo.
