~The Banjo, and How to Play it.~ Containing, in addition to the
elementary studies, a choice collection of Polkas, Waltzes Solos,
Schottisches. Songs, Hornpipes, Jigs, Reels, etc., with full
explanations of both the "Banjo" and "Guitar" styles of execution, and
designed to impart a complete knowledge of the art of playing the
Banjo practically, without the aid of a teacher. This work is arranged
on the progressive system, showing the learner how to play the first
few notes of a tune, then the next notes, and so on, a small portion
at a time, until he has mastered the entire piece, every detail being
as clearly and thoroughly explained as if he had a teacher at his
elbow all the time. By Frank B. Converse, author of the "Banjo without
a Master."
