I have been playing and teaching the banjo for decades. This is the book I wish I had when I began playing. It contains the basic mechanics of clawhammer in easy arrangements and has a CD so you can hear the tablature. None of the Tabs are beyond the grasp of beginner banjoist. The author includes "Hotlicks" you can add as you learn the tabs so you have the opportunity to enrich each tune. There is great material on the art and etiquette of jamming. There are chapters on “Jamming on Chords”, “Catching Tunes on the Fly”, "The Art of Faking it”, and two chapters on improvisation. In other words, the book gives the perspective picker all of the tools you will need to learn clawhammer banjo. I recommend it.
An informative, well designed, well written book spiced with useful information, playing tips/techniques, history, and interesting photos. This book is essential for beginners and definitely an asset for claw hammer banjo players.at all levels of proficiency. A must for the claw hammer bookshelf.
First of all, as a banjo beginner, I enjoy the photos and history of the instrument and the well known players. Banjo and folk humor are sprinkled in generously to lower the intimidation factor - and that helps! Pages 11 and 12 contain the "real" stuff I need to learn to enjoy playing claw hammer style. Now, about the tunes, what a collection of tunes. Each tune has the facing page with the history of the tune and tips on how to play it and how to enjoy playing it. This book is music appreciation at its finest. And don't miss the bonus pages in the back - FAQs, free advice, and a page of slang terms to help with integration with fellow musicians.
It's really a good book, but clearly for beginning players. If you're relatively new to clawhammer, go for it. Just one very, very minor point. The tracks on the CD start too fast. Tracks begin as soon as you hit the button. By the time you get hands back on banjo, the tune is already underway. BTW, Erbsen's clawhammer book for the ignoramus is also a great book. It was my first book many years ago.
I recently bought Mr. Erbsen's new clawhammer banjo book after working with his original book "Clawhammer Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus" and I can't recommend this book enough. If you want to play old time banjo you can't go wrong with this book. The instruction is clear and easy to understand and he does it in a relaxed and friendly manner. It includes a pile of great tunes to learn and also has alot of great vintage photos throughout the book.
I haven't played banjo for the last few years. years and have wanted something to kickstart my playing again. This book is incredible. Easyto understand. Many great tips to improve any level of playing. And it is just a very enjoyable read. I find myself grinning and smiling as I read through it. I am having a great time with this book. Pick it up you will not be disappointed.
