Banjos & Such<p>Here is Frank Converse's :fbc: "Operatic Jig" from his 1865 book "Banjo Without a Master," arranged and transposed to modern gCGBD tuning.</p><p>"The Yellow Book," as it is often called to distinguish it from Converse's other 1865 book, was an interesting attempt at _truly_ instructing an aspiring player how to play every note of every song without the benefit of a teacher.</p><p>Instead of the usual tutor format of some "rudiments of music" frontmatter followed by straighforward arrangements of tunes, Converse breaks every measure of every tune down in *excruciating* detail, painstakingly describing in plain English what the standard notation means.</p><p>You can see what he was going for, but you can also see why he dropped this approach for all of his future publications. </p><p>This is a stroke style arrangement, and the `+` and `1` instructions under the staff are right-hand instructions, indicating whether the note is to be played with the thumb ("+") or the index finger ("1").</p><p><a href="https://banjo.town/tags/banjo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>banjo</span></a> <a href="https://banjo.town/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://banjo.town/tags/standardnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>standardnotation</span></a> <a href="https://banjo.town/tags/musicalnotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>musicalnotation</span></a></p>
