Here's the quick way to get pickin' with the best of 'em
The banjo is both a staple of old-time music and an instrument that
makes frequent cameos in today's chart toppers. Whatever your musical
leanings, Banjo For Dummies will show you how to pick your way around
your instrument, even if you have zero musical background! With a little
practice--and the easy-to-follow instructions in this book--you can
learn your way around the banjo, try out various musical styles, and
discover what banjo culture is all about.
Think of this For Dummies guide as your personal banjo tutor, as you
learn how to buy, tune, hold, play, and have fun with your five-string.
