Banjo Songs for Beginners

by Ross Nickerson

Beginner Banjo Songs to help new banjo beginners learn to play the melody easier. The Banjo Book, DVD, CD includes banjo lessons for 14 beginner banjo songs.

All songs are taught by Ross Nickerson using 5-string three finger bluegrass "Scruggs Style" banjo technique.

Each song has detailed banjo tablature with right and left hand fingering indications, chords for the songs, accent marks for melody notes and other details to help you learn easier. The video DVD and audio CD demonstrate each song at a slow medium and up to speed tempo.

This Book/DVD/CD set is perfect for improving your ability to play the melody on a 5-string bluegrass banjo. I chose recognizable and easy to hear tunes to help you learn how melodies are translated into 5-string banjo technique. The Wire-bound Book/DVD/CD set includes all songs demonstrated at a slow, medium and faster speed on split screen close-up DVD and CD. The easy to read tablature book includes accent marks for melody notes and both right and left hand fingering indications. The CD also includes a back-up track to practice playing along with.

In the book there is instruction on learning how to play by chords to the song, memorizing tips and advice on how to jump start your progress with the CD backup band practice tracks. The DVD has another added feature allowing you to quickly scroll through the songs without having to re-choose the speed you are working at.
