Free fair-use instructional materials on The Music

Free fair-use instructional materials on The Music

Friends and neighbors:

Some of you have used my Web instructional materials and have been kind enough to say that they have been useful. I’ve created a central clearing house for those (around 30 items, including essays on books and films on the music and on the Catskills Irish Arts Week and Zoukfest, building chords, learning by ear, fingering, picking, accompanying, source materials, chord substitutions, building tune sets, etc.) at the website below. If you’re looking for materials that formerly appeared at thesession.org, caprockcelts, cittern, itrad-l, or my old geocities site, then the new site is probably the place to find them.

Go to http://coyotebanjo.com/music.html and look for “Instructional materials”

Please feel free to reproduce and share these materials freely, but please retain attributions and copyright notices. I will continue to add new materials to this section.

Thanks.

Chris
This is a great resource and it saves a lot of people making un-necessary inadequate explanations of things that you have so clearly and accurately explained.
Thanks

Yeh, huge thanks to you, too. These resources are very detailed and informative, in the veritable sea of often useless dribble that is the internet. However, a note to whoever made the site, the heading for 'Poems' is misspelt.

"Pomes All Sizes" is the title of a Kerouac collection with an introduction by Allen Ginsberg.

Many thanks Mr. Smith. I have your book "Celtic Back-Up For All Instrumentalists (one of the best $25 I've ever spent). I am very, very pleased to find more of the same quality instructional material provided on your website. Awesome.

Kerouac? Ha ha! 'Pomes' is also what old Constable 'Clear Orf' Goon's nephew Ern used to write in Enid Blyton's 'Five Find-Outers' books (imho, far far better than the Famous Five or Secret Seven, but possibly not quite as good as the '[Insert geographical feature] of Adventure' stories.)
