 Great addition Apr 22, 2008
For anyone starting out, the dvd is great but the book allows for more concentrated practice on specific things without the hassle of going back and forth with the video. A highly recommended purchase for the beginner. Check out the dvd, practice with the book, and enjoy what the two together can provide as far as quality at home instruction.

This is an excellent little book for the beginner banjo player. I was up and playing the first tune within a very short time.
The learning experience is very much enhanced if you have the companion DVD.
Together they make a great learning tool.

pretty good Feb 01, 2006
This book is pretty good, with lots of information. The CD is a little discouraging, though, to a beginner. He plays the songs REALLY slow, and then kinda slow at a good "I've-played-the-guitar-for-years-but-never-the-banjo" beginner pace, but then the third time he calls "medium jam speed" and the implication of that is he would like to take it faster, but he's holding back for your benefit. The problem is it's about 20 times faster than the previous speed and he also doesn't play in the same rhythm, but adds some swing to it or something, so it's pretty hard to follow. Bottom line, this book/CD set is not step by step, but there's nothing like hours of repetitive practice to get you up to speed!
