Book excerpt: (Waltons Irish Music Books). The most comprehensive collection of Irish tenor banjo tunes currently available! Here are 50 jigs, reels and hornpipes arranged for two types of tuning; the standard CGDA used by Gerry O'Connor, and the traditional GDAE tuning used by David McNevin. The first 25 tunes are played by O'Connor, whose creative and individual style has earned him the reputation of being one of Ireland's finest banjo players. The remaining tunes are arranged and played by McNevin, an extremely skillful player in the traditional style, who has received major awards for his achievements on the banjo.
