Book Reviews of Mel Bay's You Can Teach Yourself Banjo
Book Review: Glorious Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This, in my opinion, is almost the perfect beginner banjo book. I purchased it and was amazed at how fast I was learning! It's written so that someone with literally no musical background can understand it. And you jump right into playing songs. I found the DVD and CD to be an excellent resource. Also, on [...] you can get back up music to every song in the book for free, you just click the name of the song and i pops up in your media player. Altho, my only complaint about the entire set is that Janet doesn't mention anything about how to build speed, which kind of surprised me, because thats really what give the banjo it's reputation. Hindsight 20/20, I would buy the set again. I wouldn't own any other book. Period. I know a guy that bought the You Can Teach Yourself Fiddle, by Janet Davis and he swears by it too. Well gotta go so i can get back to my Banjo. Hey I'm having a great time with this, and if you buy it you will too.
Thanks
