From 2002 to 2006 I wrote a regular column for Banjo Newsletter called "Jimmy Martin Banjo," which explored the playing of many of the great banjo pickers who have been part of Jimmy Martin's band, the Sunny Mountain Boys. All of the articles are available as back issues from Banjo Newsletter. Each column included a tablature with comments, and many have an accompanying MP3 of the tablature available on the magazine's website. Here's an alphabetical list of those columns.
