As I started learning my first songs, the advice on reading tablature and keeping beat was really beneficial. The learning process is given greater meaning by this guide, which not only covers the fundamentals but also ties in with the banjo's cultural value. All things considered, it's a fun and useful book that I heartily endorse to any budding banjo player! ... show more
