beginning bluegrass
| Customer Rating: | | Super beginning bluegrass instruction. Great deal for twelve bucks. The CD is wonderful and makes it easy to play along. There are "breaks" versions and "backup" versions of all the songs in the book--I found that very helpful! The songs are extremely simple renditions of a few traditional bluesgrass songs such as Pretty Polly, Nine Pound Hammer,Foot Prints in the Snow, Rolling in My Sweet Baby's Arms. I learned "Salt Creek" from it. I already knew a pretty good rendition of Dan Crary's "Soldier's Joy" and I think the verson in this book is very simple. A bit too simple for anyone but a true beginner. There a nice section devoted to reading tab and also playing some very basic bluegrass licks. Definitely worth $12 if you are a beginner. Intermediate/Advanced players should pass--you probably already know everything in the book. Super beginner book. |
Don't Rely on This Book Alone
| Customer Rating: | | I don't really use this book as an instructional tool, but I do play some of the songs. The print makes the tab a little more difficult to read than other books that I own, but it's still pretty clear. The song selection is nice. The CD is a bonus, but the singing was distracting. I should also mention that the songs are presented in tablature only, so those who are looking for standard notation will be disappointed. My husband owns the Teach Yourself Bluegrass Banjo book. The books don't include exactly the same songs, but there are several of the same tunes that we can play together. I found Mel Bay First Lessons Flatpicking Guitar Book/CD Set to be much more helpful in learning to play bluegrass guitar, while Bluegrass Guitar Classics: 22 Carter-Style Solos is my favorite collection of easy bluegrass songs. |
Not a great book
| Customer Rating: | | This book is skimpy. You'd be better served to spend a few extra bucks and get something different. |
Too Much Sheet Music, Too Little Teaching
| Customer Rating: | | The first 15 pages are nothing more than you get in thousands of other books and free on many internet sites. The rest of the book is songs in tabulature. I expected the book to teach me how to play the songs. And, when I try to play the songs, I find the small print tabulature very hard to read. |
Good book with good CD.
| Customer Rating: | | This book is great for learning to flatpick bluegrass music. I prefer some of the arrangements to those in Happy Traum's book, and the inclusion of 2 versions of each song on the CD make this great for those with less Bluegrass familiarity. |
