	Welcome to Mel Bay's Banjo Sessions® Web Magazine
		Irish traditional music seems to be the only non-US music style that features the banjo.
		There are actually a number of different banjo styles in Irish/Celtic music, but usually when banjoists want to learn the "Irish banjo", they’re thinking of melodic playing the way Barney McKenna of The Dubliners fame does it.
		I like to call this "fiddle style" since it’s very much based on the way traditional fiddlers play.
