help.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;You see irish tenor banjo playing is all about playing tunes, and all tunes are based on scales. It'll be much easier for you to learn a tune if you already know the scale it's based on. It's your decision, but if I were you I'd definitely invest the time necessary to learn the most common irish banjo scales.<P>Here are the most common ones. Practice each of them slowly at first, and then gradually pick up speed as you feel more secure. Don't rush that process. It is <U>much</U> better from all points of view to play slowly and controlled than fast and sloppily.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Each scale is presented twice, first as a simple one octave scale, then extended to the range you'd usually use on the irish tenor banjo.<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="100%"><TR><TD WIDTH="25%"><UL><LI><A
