Absolutely Awesome,

This review is from: Banjo Songbook (Paperback)
I learned to play the banjo primarily from this one book. I have a 1st edition, so yes, I learned to play in 1980 - 1981. Or I began then. This was a time before every instructional book came with a CD that demonstrated all the tunes, so it helped if you already had an ear for bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes. I see that the book STILL has no CD, so if you aren't familiar with several of the pieces in the table of contents, you might want to augment this book with Tony's fiddle tune book. As for the bluegrass song solos in this one, start listening! Become familiar with how a banjo solo fits within a bluegrass song. With that under your belt, these spicy solos should be a snap to learn. Just be prepared to practice.If you have a burning desire to play the banjo, buy this book. I practically lived with my copy. I'm not surprised it's still in print. : )
