5.0 out of 5 stars
A bargain,
By
This review is from: Original Banjo Case Chord Book (Paperback)
Well, if you've been playing banjo for a while, you may not need this. But if you're starting out (like me), you'll find it invaluable. It's a slim line book that will fit in your banjo case behind the neck (yes, its that slim). And its just pages of chord diagrams. The sections of the book are different tuninings (ex: G tunining, C tuning, etc.) So if you've tuned to a different key, you can quickly see how to make any chord. It also covers multiple ways to make the same chord, in case you're up the neck. I'm going through "Earl Scruggs and the five string banjo" to learn to play, and this little book is the perfect accessory to reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars
important for old time banjoists and improvisors,
By Tony Thomas (SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Original Banjo Case Chord Book (Paperback)
A lot of banjoists won't think they need this chord book. Chords and old time banjo playing especially are not recognized as friends. If you play old time, then you get a lot of non sense from guitar players or even people trained to play tenor or classic banjo about chords.
However, I find this chord book pretty useful for trying to build backup patterns, even if they are done not by strumming chords, but by playing rolls and frailing patterns where I am not actually making the whole chord but playing the notes of the chord. I played guitar for about 35 years before I played banjo. I developed a repertoire of songs based on chords. Having this chord book helped me to learn some of the chords that might seem normal in a guitar players repertoire that seem distant for old timey banjo players. For example, I did an arrangement of my friend Raeford Starke's song "Roughed" up that has a BM7. I could not have figured it out without this book. You will also find that a practice especially jazz players do with a chord book can be useful by trying to play arpeggios of the notes of a chord. This can get you a lot of notes and how they go together. It can give you a good bunch of ways to harmonice or play leads around tunes. Just because you play old time banjo, does not mean that you should be ignorant of music!

Nice book, bad binding,
By Kate from Boston (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Original Banjo Case Chord Book (Paperback)
Just received this book today. It looks as useful as other reviewers have said, BUT the binding is awful. I tried to open the book out flat and pages immediately started falling out! Publisher, please print an edition with a spiral binding!
