3-Finger Banjo Pickin' On Vinyl LP!
Remastered From Original LP Master Tapes in 1966!

Although there is debate among musicologists and banjo players as to who “invented” the three-finger style of five-string banjo playing, there is no disagreement that the style was popularized by Earl Scruggs in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The three-finger style enabled banjo players to play harmony and to solo on bluegrass tunes and songs. This 1957 release assembles examples of the three-finger style by bluegrass banjo players including Scruggs’ older brother Junie and Snuffy Jenkins, who may have had an influence on the style as well.

This vinyl reissue is part of Folkways RecordsÂ’ 70th anniversary celebration series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released on the record label.
