Book Reviews of Clawhammer Style Banjo
Book Review: The Clawhammer Bible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the most well organized, clear, and fun book on clawhammer I have ever encountered. If you are a clawhammer banjo teacher, as I am, this book is absolutely essential for you and your students. I especially apprecite Ken's attention to detail, the accurate rhythmic notation (which is often less then desirable in clawhammer books), and the generous amount of songs within the book. If there's a clawhammer equivalent to Earl Scrugg's book, this is it.Book Review: Great place to start playing banjo
Summary: 5 Stars
As a bluegrass player this book totally demystified the process of clawhammer. I highly recommend getting the DVD with the book. I was up and running in no time. I'm still working thru the book as we speak, but I feel like a I have a good grip on it. Ken starts off very slow and dissects the action and rythmn of clawhammer banjo. The best part is that this book keeps giving, plenty of tunes and much to learn after you get the basics.Book Review: Excellent Method book for Clawhammer Banjo
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for getting going on clawhammer style banjo playing. It is the companion book to the video that came with my banjo and was well worth buying. I am an experienced musician on an number of other instruments but had absolutely no experience with the banjo. Within a week I was able to handle the basic technique and have a lot of fun playing.
Great job, Ken!
Book Review: *The* way to learn clawhammer
Summary: 5 Stars
Pete Seeger's famous little book got me started frailing and picking, but it was this book that really taught me how to play clawhammer. Besides teaching the basics, Perlman presents a full repetoir of well-known traditional songs- enough for a couple of sets. I can't recommend this book (and Perlman's other banjo books) highly enough.Book Review: Buy this first
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easily the best beginner and up book on clawhammer banjo. Perlman has an uncanny ability to lay all this down and make it understandable. He brings you along in a way that you don't realize your learning and getting better. Next thing you know your sittin on the front porch playin old songs from our past effortlessly
