Deering Sierra Banjo #3
5-String Banjo

Notes: This is one of my all-time favorite classical pieces: "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". Originally penned by Bach...I use this tune quite often on many different samplers....allowing the listener to compare banjo to banjo with the same tune. It's also an example of where the banjo can be taken musically. There are many other possibilities of what can be accomplished on a 5-string banjo within a classical setting.
