Bluegrass banjo is cool because its played as a melody maker that uses a set of common rolls to add to the texture and nuance of the song other books explain how to hold a banjo how to tune it how to play some rolls then immediately begin teaching songs that are just out of reach for a beginners skill this book decreases the learning curve immensely. When i have looked at other banjo tutorial books which give the tab with the licks and rolls already in i have found that much harder to follow there are 22 songs in all to learn so this book should keep me busy for a while yet the cd is clear and easy to follow too but the book also comes with a link to download the audio from the internet.
