Book Reviews of Earl Scruggs and the 5-String Banjo: Revised and Enhanced Edition
Book Review: This is a must have book for banjo players
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a complete neophyte at banjo, having just received one as a gift only weeks prior to writing this. However, Earl Scruggs is such an innovator and legend that this book is a must have. The book has some history, an intro, a section on how to make a banjo and lots of tabs. I find that in order to work through the tabs I need to hear the songs but through youtube, the lack of a CD is not an issue. Having some experience on guitar has given me a leg up and I am not sure what I would think if I did not have this experience. Even beyond the tabs, and the advice, the biography, pictures and other information is interesting to read. What I have come to appreciate that the banjo is more than an instrument but a heritage, passed down via people, almost like storytelling. I do not think I will experience this first hand but through this book, I have certainly gained an appreciation of how the five string banjo is part of american history. Now if I can only learn Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
