Complete 5-string Banjo Player,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete 5 String Banjo Player (Grv) (Paperback)
1) As one would expect from Tony Trischka, the tabs are accurate.
2) The lesson progression is logical, but also permits an experienced player to dip into specific topics and expand skill sets. 3) The tabs themselves are VERY clear and readable, one of the best printed examples of tabulature I've come across. 4) The physical binding and paper quality is very good. The publisher did not stint on putting out a quality product that will last, even with regular handling.

This review is from: Complete 5 String Banjo Player (Grv) (Paperback)
I have personally taken lessons from Mr. Trischka. His knowledge of the 5-string is remarkable, and his skill is highly refined. He is versatile in many styles and his 2007 IBMA Banjo Player of the Year award is a testimony to his career.
Somehow, Tony managed to pack the essence of his understanding of the banjo into this book! If you want to be a "complete" player, someone who plays great AND understands what they are doing, not just replicating something you were shown, this book will get you there.

Best Banjo Book,

This review is from: Complete 5 String Banjo Player (Grv) (Paperback)
I am taking group banjo lessons and was told to buy this book. Unfortunately I have not been able to attend all the sessions. The book is so explanatory that I can keep up by practicing at home. I am not saying that it isn't better to have a real person help also, but this book is about as close as it can come to learning the banjo on your own.
