Music

The gourd banjo, in any of its forms, has an earthy, mellow sound. Below you'll find MP3 files (songs in digital format), and associated TAB (tablature) files for that song, if available.

To download the files, right-click the link and select 'Save Target As'.

To use the TEF file, which has midi and musical notation, you will need TablEdit or the TEF free viewer at http://www.tabledit.com/tefview/index.shtml
