A banjo tab library in a single volume! Originally published in 1988 by Oak Publications, this comprehensive overview of the great three finger players is a must for the library of every serious bluegrass banjo picker - at any skill or experience level. Masters has been a cult classic since it went out of print several years ago, commanding prices up to $150 on auction sites during out of print intervals. In creating this book, Pete and Tony conducted interviews with the giants of the genre and compiled them all in a single volume, along with 50 tabs, tons of biographical information, a great many wonderful and useful photos and a fascinating catalog of the string, capo, set up, technique and instrument preferences of 68 top players, as of the original print date.
