5.0 out of 5 stars good licks for the banjer, September 5, 2008

This review is from: Old & In the Way Banjo Songbook (Paperback)

Like most banjo tab, it will take some practice to get these tunes up to speed but if you enjoyed the Old and in the Way" album like I do it'll be worth it. Alan Dalton did a great job in figuring out Jerry's licks. Some folks say that Jerry wasn't a good banjo player but I wish I could play as well as him with having all my fingers. If you go ahead and buy this book you should try to find the Old and in the Way CD so you can hear the light at the end of the tunnel :)

This review is from: Old & In the Way Banjo Songbook (Paperback)

Let me start by saying that I am not really a Deadhead. However, I love Jerry Garcia's banjo style and I am a beginner banjo player. Therefore, I was excited to see that Alan Dalton tabbed out these tunes and made them available in this cool book/CD package. The Tabs are exactly what Jerry plays and they produce a cool & unique vibe after lots and lots of practice. (did i mention that it takes LOTS and LOTS of practice?) The companion CD reallys helps the learning process. My favorite tab is Kissimmee Kid .

Very happy with the purchase. I'm relatively new to banjo and this book has songs that are able to be played by beginners and they get progressively harder as well, so there are songs for all levels of players! Great buy!
