    • Banjo for Beginners
Format: Paperback
Earlier this year my husband started playing guitar again and is now a pretty competent player, so next on his list to learn was banjo. He’s very pleased with this book – he’s been using it most days and has worked his way steadily through the stages and been perfecting his fingering techniques...... He says he found it very well structured and easy to follow, and much clearer than a couple of the older banjo books he had been trying to use. All in all he’s more than pleased with this and he’s already playing Cripple Creek and Skip To My Lou pretty confidently ...though we are looking forward to him mastering some new tunes soon ! ... show more

I had never played any string instrument before. I'm making good progress. Easy to understand and I officially have a callous on my index finger. Small thrills.

    • Total Newbie Perspective: I liked it, didn't love it
Format: Paperback
I've never played banjo before. Period. I love the sound of it, but I have no idea about music, scales, or anything like that. I learned a scale in 3rd grade I think on a xylophone and we learned to read a tiny bit of music. That's it. I feel like that's about typical for most Americans. So I got this book to learn from scratch how to play banjo. I got pretty far and learned some basic rolls, so that's why I think it's good. However, I did find myself re-reading parts of the book over and over to try to understand them because the words chosen are not that clear. The writing style assumes way too much, so as a total newbie reader I had to figure out what the reader is talking about a lot. Also you can't skip around in the book, you really need to start on page one and go sequentially through it. Ok so the songs in the book are terrible. Like, if you play the chords they are telling you to play it's not a song at all and sounds like nothing aside from the same chord over and over. That part I found horrible. I didn't even play any songs in the beginning of the book, they just aren't songs. I went straight to chords and rolls. The chords and rolls did make sense, so that part was good in the book. I was able to learn some rolls pretty quickly. The exercises themselves are totally boring though. I had a real struggle wanting to do them or finding any interest in them whatsoever. The book does nothing to encourage or challenge the reader. It's mostly "repeat this over and over, now repeat this instead." I found it pretty boring. Overall I'd say if you're a real beginner this is OK. I didn't try any other books so I can't compare it. It didn't get me very far though and the songs in the beginning were frustrating. ... show more
