It’s been a very, very frustrating few years, but I now see the light at the end of the tunnel. So occasionally revisit this page for progress reports.
#BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM BANJO TAB UPDATE#
If you are reading this, then you’ll notice that the first stage has now been completed - an update of my personal website which will link to my teaching site.

Battle Cry of Freedom (Dixie), George Frederick Root, Any, Any, Any, xaaM, 9777. The bad news is that I can’t just "edit" my tabs, I now have to rewrite every arrangement from scratch! That being said, I am now prepared to work full time on this project to get it up and running as quickly as possible. Fill-out the form below to search for tabs. The good news is that I’ve finally found a replacement software program that gives me the flexibility I need to transcribe my arrangements and I've started the process (again) to get them back online. To say I was despondent doesn’t come close to describing what I’ve been feeling the last few years. The owner/programmer of the notation program told me a "fix was on the way”, but that was back in November of 2020 and I eventually became convinced that this would never happen. Knowing that this task would take months (or even years) I was still optimistic - right up to the point where the notation program I used for writing tabs stopped working when I updated my computer OS! Hundreds of tabs suddenly became uneditable. Like I said, this would be “revolutionary”!
#BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM BANJO TAB HOW TO#
Imagine every tab having a performance video, an instruction video, a video discussing how to effectively backup either the voice or another instrument, and an accompaniment MP3 to practice with.

Each lesson or song would be offered as a “course” with multiple support files, including video and mp3 files, which requires that I switch over to a paid, rather than free, website.

Once I started down THAT road, I quickly realized that there were other ways I could make my clawhammer instruction site much more effective, if not revolutionary! I also realized that I would need a new platform to host this instruction site as I would no longer be just providing tablature. I soon found how daunting this task would be when the first tab I tackled (“Sleepers Wake” by Bach) took me over six hours to update - and I was looking at hundreds of hours to do the same with all my other arrangements. As you all know, I took down my tab site three or four years ago after realizing it was in dire need of a rebuild after being online for 15 years.
