Kyle Creed Clawhammer Banjo Master is a collection of clawhammer banjo tablature as played by Kyle Creed, with modern interpretations by Bob Carlin and Dan Levenson. This book is the first in a series of transcriptions of tunes from the old masters--in this case, Kyle Creed--who gave definition to our style of old time clawhammer banjo playing. The repertoire, presented in tablature, is intended to be a starting point for your journey through the old time music world. As such, each piece is presented in multiple arrangements, but on the page and on the accompanying audio CD. The recordings are for the most part played at a learning tempo and are close to the written notation but not exact in all cases.

(Book). From the late 19th century through the 1950s, Chicago was the powerhouse of American musical instrument manufacturing. Among the most active makers was the Regal Musical Instrument Company. Descended from an Indianapolis business, Regal made a full complement of stringed instruments for a variety of brands. Along the way, the company even introduced a few new musical novelties into the market. This book is an addendum to Regal Musical Instruments: 1895-1955 and includes previously unused sources, including period catalogs and many illustrations along with color photos taken specifically for this publication.
