Book Reviews of Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus (Book & CD set)
Book Review: superb
Summary: 5 Stars
i learned very quickly (bout 3 weeks) to play the banjo pretty decently using this book. I has multiple levels of difficulty for each tune so you start it simpleand then build on it as you get better. you can do the simple version of all the songs in the book if you want before you go back and do the harder versions (with added note doodads)
Summary of Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus (Book & CD set)
Most beginning banjo books teach tunes with the rolls already incorporated into the song. With that approach most students find it difficult or impossible to figure out an arrangement on their own without reading the tab. This book uses a different approach. For each of the 23 tunes included, only the melody is tabbed out, no rolls. The student then learns he or she can play all 23 tunes using only the simplest roll--the pinch. They gradually learn to play the melody using any or all of seven different rolls. And after teaching banjo for 41 years, Wayne Erbsen is convinced the melody approach to teaching bluegrass works very well indeed.Guitar Books
