Play It Like Perry Vol. 1 : For Tenor Banjo

David Frey and Susanne Sangiacomo bring Perry Bechtel's sound back to life. Perry Bechtel, with his unique style, his perfectionism, and his amazingly nimble fingers, remains a standard for all four-string banjoists. The Bechtel style continues to be one of the major influences on banjoists today. Dave Frey, noted musician, author and banjo teacher, along with talented co-author Sue Sangiacomo, have applied their love of banjo and teaching to the art of Perry's style. With the same perfectionism inherent in Bechtel's style, Dave has converted by hand 20 of Perry's hand-written scores. Together Dave and Sue have rendered the fundamentals and the intricacies of Perry's playing, note by note, into a do-able, playable instruction book! With this book, the first volume of a planned series, it is possible for today's banjoist to reproduce the talent and technical skills of Perry Bechtel, "The Man With Ten Thousand Fingers."Frey, David is the author of 'Play It Like Perry Vol. 1 : For Tenor Banjo', published 2004 under ISBN 9780967361147 and ISBN 0967361141.
