The Banjo Song Book

Customer Testimonials

.......I just wanted to take the time to let you know that your book Banjo Song Book is simply incredible, I’ve been picking for about a year now and can play (slowly) nearly every song in it. Your unique tab system is awesome and much less confusing than some of the other books, which by the way are collecting dust. When I break out with Blackberry Blossom, the room seems to go silent and I feel everybody’s eyes on me!

....I just got your Banjo Song Book today and I love it! I just picked up banjo about four months ago, and after a summer of intense practice, I must admit I'm getting pretty darn good pretty darn fast.

.....Hello Ross,
I thoroughly enjoyed your 'Banjo Songs' instruction book and completed it over the weekend. Its overall simplicity allows me to play many of the tunes including 'Foggy M.B.' at your CD performance tempo. With that under my belt I can now go back and add in some complications (3-2 pull offs after the 2-3 hammer-ons etc.) that would have otherwise stagnated my pace and kept me from focusing on tempo. While most of the 'Songbook' tunes are freely accessible on the net in tabledit form, they lack the necessary straightforwardness needed to leap hurdles facing an intermediate player, namely rhythm and tempo with accuracy. Your book accomplished that for me without frustration and improved my confidence. It was also motivating to watch the performance downloads at your website.
I just ordered the Scruggs Style Instruction book from you and was hoping that someone is around to drop in the mail this afternoon so I can get started on it later in the week.


...Anyway, having said all of that, your book (already) has made me "get" how you are supposed to play songs on this instrument. It has dawned on me that embellishing the melody is much simpler than I originally thought. For example, I was working on your "Ballad of Jed Clampett," and the melody notes just seemed to fly out of my chord formations and chord-based licks without much effort. It sounds great! As I said, this whole melody approach, as opposed to just improvising and filling measures with licks and rolls, is really fun. The fact that I can play all of those standards and impress the guys in the band and my friends is just an added bonus. Keep up the great work
