Melodic banjo was Tony Trischka's first book. It was, and is, a groundbreaking exploration of the melodic style (Sometimes referred to as the fiddle tune, or chromatic style) championed most dramatically by Bill Keith. The melodic style is an essential aspect of bluegrass and progressive banjo technique, allowing one to play note-for-note renditions of fiddle tunes, as well as ornamenting solos with melodic fragments.
