Fun-Fun-fun!...
Great book, I knew absolutely nothing about banjo playing before this book. This is fun! Also has a CD for all You high tech folk! Though it's still highly debatable weather I'm a great Banjo player, this book will teach you how to play the banjo weather You are already a musician, or just love the twang of a banjo & want to make some noise on the porch! I highly recommend this book for Yourself, or a great gift to someone who is a lousy Banjo player!

Banjo Basics Easy and Fun
Written for those with no prior music playing experience--me. Has easy to follow language and exercises. It defines every term used to play the banjo and some other instruments. The DVD is a nice-to-hear optional learning aid that corresponds to the numbers in the lesson text. The self paced and melody focused lessons allow me to learn and practice how to play in a way that makes sense to me. I see progress while hearing an actual melody I recognize. I'm starting to pick up speed and experiment with melody enhancing techniques called "licks". Technique rogress is apparent from lesson to lesson. This is just what I wanted.

Banjo playing review by a complete ignoramous
Haven't had a chance to spend much time with the book and banjo, but did get a half hour in. Started at page 1 and worked through several pages. So far so good!!! May end up giving it 5 stars once I find time to stop traveling so I can snuggle with my banjo!
