Yes,
Life is good!
Not
only has Tim Allan, the remarkably talented Hall of
Fame performer, produced recordings for our listening
delight, he has also produced an entire series of matching
Arrangement Books, thus allowing banjoists and other
musicians to learn the music and play along.
Each of the recordings below has an
accompanying arrangement book. Each song arrangement has a single melody line with chord symbols above every melody note.
Any instrument can benefit from Tim's
books, but the first two books shown below, 40 Easy
Reading Song Arrangments and 12 More Advanced
Song Arrangements, are arranged especially for
tenor banjo, using tenor banjo chord diagrams above
most melody notes.
You will definitely want to take advantage
of these masterful Arrangement Books!
