- Pretty Good Start
This is a very helpful book for those who are starting from scratch learning how to play the banjo. However, I had already had about a month worth of lessons before my teacher told me to get it and the first 20 or so pages were of things that I learned in the first 2 lessons. This is a great book and it's fun when you start getting into the songs.

- Great Starter
This book is a great starter if you want to pick up a banjo and start pickin'. I have played the guitar for a few years so the transition was not difficult and I found myself flying through the book, I completed the book in about 2 months. The book focuses on scruggs style picking, you'll learn basic rolls and cords.

After you learn the basics there really aren't many exercises. The book tends to introduce a roll pattern, suggest you practice it over and over and once you have it play the next acompanying song.

Don't expect to learn to read music, everything in this book is tabbed out. Capo use is not covered either. Does not cover soloing either.

For the price it's a good buy, by the end of the book you'll be able to play Cripple Creek, Do Lord, Boil Them Cabbage Down, Hard Ain't It Hard, Old-Time Religion, Comin' Round The Moutain, My Home's Accross the Blue Ridge Mountains, ... Read More
