About this title

Synopsis

The original edition: Oak Publications, 1988. Oversized paperback; 413 pp; 3 pounds; illustrations throughout.

"...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...."

Contains many interviews "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...". There are studies of Earl Scruggs, Snuffy Jenkins, Don Reno, Ralph Stanley, J.D. Crowe, Bill Keith, Larry McNely, Pete Wernick, Bela Fleck, and many more. "Each chapter includes photos of the player's right hand position and how they wear their picks in addition to detailed discussion and analysis."
