Very Complete Tenor Banjo Method Feb 06, 2011
By trucktricks
Tenor banjo methods are not easy to find, because the tenor banjo does not seem to have the popularity it did in, say, the 1920's. (Not to be confused with Irish Tenor Banjo, which is tuned differently). I inherited a 1928 tenor banjo in cherry condition when my father passed away. It seemed such a shame to have such a beautiful instrument, and not be doing anything with it. This Mel Bay method is perfect particularly for anyone who has some musical experience on another instrument. Published in 1968... so, no CD included, but this method takes you through basic chords as well as scales, both major and minor, in every key. It covers both tablature and chord shapes, as well as some nomenclature that is specific to banjo playing. I would highly recommend this method for anyone who has a tenor banjo.

Mel Bay's Complete Tenor Banjo Method Mar 09, 2011
By Dave
Great book for an adult beginner. Although the earliest copyright is 1968, it has been around much longer...withstood the test of time...the best things usually do. My father used this method book in the 1950s.
If you like your guitar and want to try something that always sounds happy, highly recommend a 4-string tenor banjo and Mel Bay's method books. This complete method book starts at the beginning with simple melodies and string introductions...then on through to much more advanced chord progressions and exercises. I also have (and recommend) Mel Bay's guitar and ukulele method books. Some come with CDs and DVDs. Have fun...happy strumming!!

A beginner student Feb 21, 2009

I have used some other of Mel Bay's publications and I am just as impressed with the simple step by step approach that is given in the Complete Tenor Banjo Method. An excellent book at an affordable price.
Used for Self-Instruction for Tenor Guitar Jan 19, 2012
By Tinfoot
I ended up buying an 1987 edition although this had sat in my Amazon wish list for awhile. Aside from the banjo specific photos, the written material naturally works equally well for tenor guitar. In my edition at least, there is NO "standard" banjo tablature (the Look Inside preview wouldn't give me any "inner page" samples for the current edition); it is presented in entirely as music staff notation. Nevertheless, this should not hinder you in any way from using this book!
It WILL teach you how to read music notation in effortless manner as it pertains to the fretboard. By the time you reach page 15, you will be wondering what the big deal is about reading music. ;)
This book along with Buddy Watcher's Learning Tenor Banjo DVD makes a very comprehensive self-study course.
