A comprehensive guide for both beginner and advanced banjo players! By Ken Perlman, here is an excellent instructional guide destined to become the banjo manual. Easy to learn, this style covers the learning process itself, basic right- and left-hand positions, simple chords, and fundamental clawhammer techniques: the brush, the "bumm-titty" strum, pull-offs, and slides. For advanced players, instructions on more complex picking, double-thumbing, rapid slides, fretted pull-offs, harmonics, improvisation, and much more are provided. The book includes over 40 fun-to-play banjo tunes.
