Great Starter,

This review is from: Hal Leonard Banjo Method - Book 1: Banjo Technique (Paperback)
This book is a great starter if you want to pick up a banjo and start pickin'. I have played the guitar for a few years so the transition was not difficult and I found myself flying through the book, I completed the book in about 2 months. The book focuses on scruggs style picking, you'll learn basic rolls and cords. After you learn the basics there really aren't many exercises. The book tends to introduce a roll pattern, suggest you practice it over and over and once you have it play the next acompanying song. Don't expect to learn to read music, everything in this book is tabbed out. Capo use is not covered either. Does not cover soloing either. For the price it's a good buy, by the end of the book you'll be able to play Cripple Creek, Do Lord, Boil Them Cabbage Down, Hard Ain't It Hard, Old-Time Religion, Comin' Round The Moutain, My Home's Accross the Blue Ridge Mountains, Foggy Mountain Top, Little Birdie, Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms, and a few others as well. Despite it not being very comprehensive I was happy with the book and could play pretty well once I got through it. The method was very easy to follow, great for a beginner if you ask me. For the price its a great place to start and you'll be playing songs almost immediately.
