Customer Reviews
Eddie is the best
Hey all, I haven’t downloaded this book yet but I do take lessons here in Austin from Eddie Collins, and have his other iBook covering backup banjo for bluegrass. Eddie is one fine banjo instructor. And this book uses the same tech as that one does (he has told me) but many things are improved, and because of those two things, I can wholeheartedly recommend this for someone trying to learn the banjo!
THE BEST self-taught music book EVER
Really well put together, concise and easy to follow
LOVE the looping practice tracks and appreciate that there are often both a slow version and a faster version with a whole band, or guitar and vocals.
Already planning to get the mandolin version, once I’ve got banjo down.
Can't recommend highly enough!
This is a fantastic book for the beginner to intermediate Banjo player. Compared to the print books I've used in the past, the interactive features make a huge difference - you can loop a clip to play along as you work through each exercise, and each song has a slow and fast version to keep it challenging as you get up to speed. Eddie's arrangements are excellent and practical. A perfect place to start as you lay your foundation as a Banjo player. NOTE: After downloading the sample, I had to delete the book and re-download it for the clips to play correctly, so keep this in mind.
