Scott designed this method for the beginning banjo player, one like himself, who didn't have a teacher.  The book begins with the basics and theory.  

The student is encouraged to choose to study either rhythm or notes.  The chapters, to be mastered lesson by lesson, will allow the student to achieve not only a basic understanding of how to play the banjo, but how to listen and play by ear.  You will learn

  • To hold the instrument properly
  • Basic Chord vocabulary
  • To read and play melodies
  • Acquire a standard repertoire all banjoists should know.

 

For all you enthusiasts out there, know that you can improve.  This method is an inexpensive investment in time and money.  It won't take you long to discover something new.  Your approach to playing and listening will change.  Your ability to control the pick, fingers, and timing will change, for the better!  Practice regularly and set realistic goals.  Enjoy your banjo!  It truly can become your best friend.
