Hal Leonard Banjo Method - Book 1 (2nd Edition) | Beginner's Guide Songbook to 5-String Banjo with Online Audio Access Tablature | Bluegrass Style Banjo Instruction | 97 Full-Band Demo Tracks

I am a professional music teacher. I teach banjo, mandolin and guitar. I use this book for most of my beginner students, especially adults. It is geared to help you teach yourself. Unlike other beginner books that want you to read music right away and leave you playing one-note-at-a-time melodies, this one teaches bluegrass techniques through tablature... rolls, slides, hammers, pinches, and uses well known tunes to help you learn these techniques one at a time. I highly recommend anyone wanting to teach themselves bluegrass banjo pick up a copy of this book.

For those wanting to learn bluegrass banjo, this is a very good basic introduction to both music theory and beginning banjo technique. Experienced musicians who are learning the banjo as a new instrument will learn quickly to skip over the theory sections. The book is well-paced and moves the student along incrementally, with the focus on good technique. The CD is a bit confusing, as it is not entirely clear how it articulates with the book, but it gives you a good idea of what you'll be able to do by the end of the book. As always, it is best to learn a new instrument with a good teacher who can work with you on technique along the way.

Great starter book!

Great book. I’m a guitar player learning to play banjo. The exercises in the book start out simple and gradually build. Make sure to get the version with the audio. Only thing that I would like is if Hal Leonard had an phone app for the audio.

Great book for beginners :)
