The Ultimate Guide Series

 
 
 

 JIM RILEY was born in 1935.  He missed the Jazz Age, but was lucky enough to experience the joys of the Depression while growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, where ethnic neighborhoods produced street corner taverns resounding with music.  He attended the University of Baltimore and was an administrative manager with the federal government.  Now retired, he teaches banjo and performs on tours and at jazz festivals with a well known Dixieland jazz band, The Rent Party Revellers.  He is a founding member of the Bayside Banjo Aggregation.

 Riley's Routines for Better Banjo assumes the player already plays either tenor or plectrum banjo, and desire to move beyond your current playing level.  For that reason, it does not purport to teach you fundamentals.  It endeavors to illuminate problems that cause learning blockage and offers ideas for getting around the roadblocks.
