Book Reviews of The Banjo Player's Songbook: Over 200 great songs arranged for the five-string banjo
Book Review: Best banjo book I've seen
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me by my banjo teacher, and he was right: it has a great variety of songs, and most are fairly easy to learn and understand. But you do need to know clawhammer banjo, or be willing to learn.
While beginners will find plenty of great songs to learn, some of the songs are challenging. I also like that it goes beyond the traditional genre of banjo songs (i.e. Tom Dooley, Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark) and provides Celtic songs, variations on holiday music, songs that our non-banjo might know (i.e. When the Saints go Marching In), and much more. This book has definitely kept me more motivated and active in banjo playing, and I only wish that there was an equivalent book I could buy to get some more tabs.
