Great For Beginners and Intermediates Jo I am a beginner and have been playing for 7 months. I was using Wayne Erbsen's book, "Bluegrass Banjo For The Complete Ignoramus". After I finished it, I felt like there was something else missing, so I bought his followup book, "Bluegrass Jamming".

Almost everyday, I begin practicing by using the steps recommended in this book. I learn a ne. Great concept but The concept for this book is pretty good, but it is really just a compilation of lots of techniques found in other books. It's probably a good resource for a beginner or someone switching from one style (e.g. bluegrass 3 finger picking to clawhammer).

You'll understand the benefit only after about a year of constant study. Max
