Good beginner supplementBy AtlZaphodIve been playing about four months; using this book paired with the Hal Leonard Banjo Book 1; both recommended by my instructor (I take one 30-minute lesson a week; a mix of technique and specific songs). In most of the songs; the melody rings clearly in the banjo solo (to me; "Rocky Top" is an exception; where there appears to be a hint of the melody). The chart shows two rhythms: the melody and the solo. Play the melody (top line) first to learn the song; so you can listen for it in the solo (bottom line). When you start playing the solo; be sure to accent/emphasize the melody notes so the tune rings clear. If youre a beginner; Id suggest also using a separate book to teach basic rolls and other techniques. Im enjoying "Will the Circle be Unbroken;" which uses a combination of forward and reverse rolls. One complaint is the song selection. Perhaps Im a music illiterate but there are many songs Ive never heard before. But there is one Beatles song ("Ive Just Seen a Face"); which I may try next. Start slowly then speed up. I start 80-100 bpm then work my way up to 130+ bpm.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy laverniagrandmagift0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Time to dust off the old banjor!By michael a mooreOther than the apparent formatting issue in this kindle issue; this book was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Most every tune was familiar to me and the tablature was easy to read and dead-on. Im recommending this one for all banjo pluckers; regardless of level of accomplishment. Great fun; thank you!
