What Readers Have Said About Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus!
"This is a great book for a beginner who is learning bluegrass on their own. It makes SENSE of how the rolls work around a melody. Wayne Erbsen has a real talent for simplifying and explaining how to play the banjo." Linda Sisson
"I just love Wayne's easy paced and relaxing instructions...his books are the bees knees in making you want to learn." C. Vann, Australia
"Just received your instructional book yesterday and I am playing Bile Them Cabbage Down already. Wish I would have known of a book like this in the 70's when I had my first banjo. Breaking the music down into sections was all I needed to grasp how to play. I cannot wait to learn slides and other methods." Thank-you! Gloria K.
"Hey Wayne! Your bluegrass banjo for the complete ignoramus got me started 2 1/2 years ago - I haven't stopped pickin' since. i liked it and feel it has helped me progress because of the way it was written- the melody tabbed out and you writing about how to dress it up- good idea-it seems like so many other books focus more on licks than the melody. Anyways, great book!" - James
"I have been a heavy metal guitar player for some years and by chance bought your Ignoramus banjo book. I can't believe how clearly you have explained the way forward, and now I can play the tunes in your book as much as I play the guitar. I really appreciate your book. Kind regards," Adrian Clayton, Wollongong, Australia
