Book Reviews of Mel Bay Everything You Wanted to Know About Clawhammer Banjo: A Complete Tutor for the Intermediate and Advanced Player
Book Review: A complete, well organized and useful reference
Summary: 5 Stars
Ken Perlman always writes about clawhammer banjo with knowledge and passion born of his now many years of playing and teaching this method of, mostly solo, traditional banjo playing. This book is a collection of his writings for Banjo Newsletter and is arranged by topic, in a rough sequence from beginning issues to advanced projects. It is worth the price just for his column on "Foggy Clawhammer," where he demonstrates that bluegrass classics may be convincingly played clawhammer style to the satisfaction of the ubiquitous audience members who will inevitably ask and expect you to play this tune (or, in my experience, "Dueling Banjos"). Ken's style may be a bit daunting for newcomers at times, but learning all he has to teach is worth the effort. Highly recommended to keep handy and contribute to one's growth as a banjo player and as a musician.
