Good for beginners too
Format: Paperback
I really like this book. It’s well written, and the exercises are reasonable for beginners.

I love this book!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great resource to learn this great instrument, the banjo. It's structured to learn a small bit everyday to really learn useful pieces that build on each previous lesson. Each piece is easy to master quickly and build upon. Worthwhile book!

Very good instruction manual. I’ve only done a couple of weeks but the exercises are excellent. I’ve been playing for 2 years and this book is good for beginners and more advanced players.

Great For Beginners and Intermediates
Format: Paperback
I am a beginner and have been playing for 7 months. I was using Wayne Erbsen's book, "Bluegrass Banjo For The Complete Ignoramus". After I finished it, I felt like there was something else missing, so I bought his followup book, "Bluegrass Jamming". It helped some, but I felt like I needed to add more speed, learn new techniques, add more rolls and learn some warm up exercises. I found all of that in this book, Banjo Aerobics. Almost everyday, I begin practicing by using the steps recommended in this book. I learn a new lesson once a week. I skip certain lessons that don't interest me like clawhammer techniques and rolls that can be used for pop music and waltzes. I am learning new rolls, playing "up the neck" and I am slowly increasing my speed. This book isn't for advanced students, IMO. I first spend 30-45 minutes on the Aerobics book, then take a break, then spend 30-45 minutes playing songs and incorporating rolls and new techniques into the songs. I now call Banjo Aerobics, the "Missing Link". Thanks Michael for writing this book-it is deeply appreciated!! ... show more

Banjo for beginners

It looks simple to understand. Notes and instructions are easy to read

Ooh! Cool! Sweet!
Format: Paperback
That is what our seventeen year old grandson kept saying as he kept looking through the package. It was part of his birthday present. It would be unfair of me to grade this item, as I find it hard to whistle for the dog.

Not what was expected...
Format: Paperback
Not exactly what I thought it would be… very disjointed rather than cleanly organized. Not much of the book links or builds up with exercises. I have the Ukulele Aerobics version from this set and its extremely well organized and builds up slowly over time. Each week is broken down into different exercises that link to the last week and keep advancing. This book on the other hand just jumps around and well over half of it is of no use to the average banjo player. There are hundreds of other banjo books to work from - try Keys to the Five String Banjo or School of Banjo - both are better organized and progressive with their exercises. Would have been far more useful if it had focus as other versions in this series do. ... show more
