There are 40 finger-style pieces all in written tab only, 14 clawhammer (or stroke) pieces, and he jumps right in only after a brief intro explaining what classic style is, not any technique instruction. They do seem rather easy, but there are some that look kind of tough to this beginner. What's nifty is some pieces, this one included, have accompanying 2nd banjo tab. I tried recording both parts and trying to make it match up with a free program called audacity, it sounded really nice for a while, but I couldn't quite get it right.

Thanks for your good luck wishes! I don't know if I'll be playing any classic tunes up there.. It will probably be all folk frailing.
