 Best banjo book I've seen Dec 13, 2008
This book was recommended to me by my banjo teacher, and he was right: it has a great variety of songs, and most are fairly easy to learn and understand. But you do need to know clawhammer banjo, or be willing to learn.
While beginners will find plenty of great songs to learn, some of the songs are challenging. I also like that it goes beyond the traditional genre of banjo songs (i.e. Tom Dooley, Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark) and provides Celtic songs, variations on holiday music, songs that our non-banjo might know (i.e. When the Saints go Marching In), and much more. This book has definitely kept me more motivated and active in banjo playing, and I only wish that there was an equivalent book I could buy to get some more tabs.

 Well-presented and a lot of fun May 13, 2000
Simple clawhammer arrangements of a lot of folk and other songs, grouped by category ("A parcel of rogues", "All over this land", etc.) and with a short introduction to each song. Most of the tunes are what you'd expect from a book of this type (Shady Grove, Sweet Betsy from Pike, etc.) but there are a few from left field - a whole section on Stephen Foster, for example, and a few Jewish tunes which are arranged quite well. If you already own a book or two of folk tunes, you can probably do without this, but it's a great book for someone just starting out on the banjo (it was for me!)
