Neil Griffin was born and still resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. Music has always been his prime interest, starting wtih clarinet instruction in the fifth grade and learning guitar on his own. He performed as a member of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra at age 15 playing bass clarinet. He also began performing with area dance bands on saxophone, clarinet, and guitar.

He studied music at the Univeristy of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, playing First Chair Alto Sax as a freshman in the UNC Concert Band. Neil taught as Band Director at three county schools for several years and at the same time privately for Kidd-Frix Music Co. in their Charlotte accordion school. When the School was purchased by Music Inc. Neil went into management and retail music sales for them. At the same time, Neil played regularly with his own band for wedding receptions, office parties, etc., and gained valuable experience from playing summer theater for many well-known stars as well as being called on a regular basis to play banjo, guitar, and clarinet for traveling Broadway shows appearing in the area.

Neil was very active in the Charlotte Musicians Association and served as president for approximately 13 years as well as holding other executive offices.

Some of the first professional jobs Neil played were good old southern square dances, which at that time weren't as fancy as they are today but provided him with an appreciation for country and bluegrass music that was never forgotten. He enjoyed doin 5 radio shows and two TV shows per week at WBT and WBTV in Charlotte for over a year.

In the early 60's Neil was hired to manage Tillman Music Co. in Charlotte. There he helped in starting the Aria Pro II line of instruments. Neil and his brother Steve, who also writes for Mel Bay Publications, went into the music-school business tohether in the 70's and later expanded as a retail music store. During this period Neil met Mel Bay and began to write material for 5-string banjo which was pretty scarce at the time. He has thoroughly enjoyed writing and teaching.

Currently, Neil is a performing musician, band leader and co-owner of the Neil Griffin Studios of Music in Charlotte, North Carolina where his instructional books are field tested and proven effective with students of all ages. He has authored or co-authored several books for Mel Bay Publications on the subjects of 5-string banjo, rock guitar, and accordion.

THE AUTHOR
Neil Griffin is a performing musician and teacher with many years of experience. He is co-owner of Griffin Music Scene in Charlotte, North Carolina, where this method has been field-tested and proven with students of all ages. Neil is the author of Mel Bay Publications' Easiest Banjo Book, Anthology of 5-String Banjo Styles, The Complete Banjo Book, and several other publications from Mel Bay.

ABOUT PART ONE A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
I have attempted to set forth a basic, "from-the-beginning" system of five-string banjo instruction in the G or bluegrass tuning for the use of both teachers and students. Through the use of this method, the student should expect to learn the following:

1. How to pick out tunes single-string style (one note at a time).
2. How to play chord accompaniment.
3. How to play solos in the full three-finger, bluegrass style that is so popular today.

All the songs and solos in Part One are written in two simple keys (Gand C). All the playing
is done in the basic position (the first few frets).
The student will learn to play rolls, slides, hammers, and pull-offs. Techniques such as choking, playing harmonics, and high solo playing up the neck are purposely omitted in Part One. These will be covered in Part Two, as I believe that a thorough knowledge and facility should be gained in the basic position before moving on.
All of the songs in the first part are written two ways - one simple version showing the single-note melody as well as the chord strums and words - one complete three-finger, bluegrass solo that matches. Ifyou have a friend who plays a few chords on the guitar, it will be fun to play the song together, swapping back and forth with one playing the melody and the other strumming the chords. Later, when you can handle full solos, the music will still work together.
Daily practice is essential in order to master the material in this method and is one thing you must discipline yourself to do. No one else can do it for you.
If you are not taking regular instruction from a banjo teacher or if there are no banjo teachers in your town and you feel you need extra help, any competent guitar teacher will understand the material in this book and willbe able to help you to understand the things that cause you trouble.
Good luck and, above all, have fun with your music!
Neil Griffin

PART TWO FOREWORD
Iwant to thank the many thousands of banjo enthusiasts who have purchased the Mel Bay books I have written. It is certainly gratifying to receive letters and phone calls from all over the world commenting on my books and requesting more advanced material for the fivestring banjo.
There is quite a bit of good music available now for the five-string banjo, but as I study all that I can obtain, my feeling remains the same as when I wrote my first book. There seems to be a lack of actual teaching material that systematically acquaints the aspiring banjo player with the techniques necessary to become an accomplished banjoist. A banjo player must utilize his or her own talents and imagination in playing exciting music. In order to achieve what your musical ear wants to hear, you must know just where to find the sounds that you are looking for on your instrument. I sincerely hope that this book will help those who use it correctly, not only just to play the songs as they are written here, but to learn your way around the banjo so well that you can extend the solos, improve upon them, and create your own versions.
Included in this part are information on chords and chord progressions, scales and keys, single-string picking, melodic or chromatic style, back-up, blues and boogie, various technical exercises, and standard tunes as well as some original material to help demonstrate their use. It is very important that you understand and can play the material in Part One of this method in order to get the most out of this volume. It would also be helpful if you would read through and play the supplementary material that I have written previously - Mel Bay's Easiest Banjo Book, Complete Banjo Book, and Anthology of 5-String Banjo Styles. Again, many thanks for your interest and support, and best wishes for many hours of 'Happy Pickin'

"MELODIC" OR "CHROMATIC" PICKING
THE NEXT FEW PAGES WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE "MELODIC" OR "CHROMATIC" STYLE OF BANJO PLAYING. THE MAJOR PART OF THE MATERIAL IS IN G BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FAMILIAR WITH THE KEY, BUT SEVERAL OTHER KEYS ARE SHOWN.
THIS STYLE IS SOMETIMES CALLED "FIDDLE SCALE PLAYING" BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE BANJO PLAYER TO PLAY RAPID RUNS AND FILL-INS AS WELL AS THE OLD-TIME FIDDLE AND MANDOLIN TUNES THAT HAVE SO MANY NOTES IN EACH MEASURE OF THE MUSIC. MOST OF THE OLD FIDDLE TUNES HAVE ABOUT EIGHT NOTES PER MEASURE AND DO NOT ADAPT WELL TO THE "SCRUGGS" STYLE.
MOST GOOD BANJO PLAYERS USE A MIXTURE OF THE TWO STYLES IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING MONOTONOUS.
IF YOU READ MUSIC AND HAVE A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE MELODIC SCALE PATTERNS, YOU CAN READ FIDDLE AND MANDOLIN TUNES DIRECTLY FROM FIDDLE AND MANDOLIN MUSIC. THIS ABILITY ALONE WILL OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY LITERALLYTHOUSANDS OF TUNES YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IN THIS STYLE OF PLAYING THE RIGHT-HAND FINGERING REQUIRES YOU TO PICK THE SECOND STRING WITH THE MIDDLE FINGER. THIS TAKES SOME PRACTICE BUT WILL ENABLE YOU TO PLAY RUNS THAT WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO FINGER BEFORE.
BE PATIENT, AS YOU WILL PROBABLY FEEL LIKE AN AWKWARD BEGINNER FOR A WHILE. BUT DON'T GIVE UP - IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT .... MEMORIZE ONE SCALE PATTERN AT A TIME AND DON'T MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE UNTIL YOU CAN PLAY IT QUITE SMOOTHLY.
 

ADVANCED SOLO SONG SECTION
BE SURE TO READ THE NEXT FOUR PAGES ON "CHORD DIAGRAMS," "CIRCLED TAB NUMBERS," "THE CHOKE," AND "CHIMES" BEFORE YOU START PLAYING THE SOLOS. THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE SOLOS MUCH BETTER.
INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION IS A WIDE VARIETY OF MATERIAL.
THERE ARE SEVERAL SONGS THAT YOU LEARNED IN PART ONE IN THE BASIC POSITION THAT ARE PRESENTED HERE IN THE HIGHER OCTAVE (UP THE NECK). THESE MAY BE CONNECTED TO THE PREVIOUS SOLOS YOU HAVE LEARNED TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF CHORUSES YOU CAN PLAY.
MANY OF THE SONGS HAVE BOTH LOW AND HIGH VERSIONS WITH A MIXTURE OF "SCRUGGS" AND "MELODIC." THERE ARE SEVERAL ORIGINAL TUNES INCLUDED. IN SOME INSTANCES THE STYLE USES THE HOLDING OF COMPLETE CHORDS WHERE I OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE MADE THE PlAYING MORE FLOWING AND OPEN TO SUIT MORE ADVANCED PlAYERS, BUT I DID NOT SET OUT TO WRITE JUST ANOTHER "SOLO BOOK. " IT IS MY HONEST HOPE THAT YOU WILL, THROUGH THE USE OF THIS BOOK, REALLY BEGIN TO SEE WHERE THINGS ARE COMING FROM THAT YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND BEFORE. STUDYING THIS MATERIAL THOROUGHLY WILL ENABLE YOU TO READ AND UNDERSTAND SOLOS WRITTEN BY MUCH GREATER BANJO PLAYERS THAN MYSELF.
