<p>In addition to the old tutor books on Tim Twiss' site, I highly recommend you purchase a copy of his book "Early Banjo." It is aimed at the beginning minstrel banjoist and is the first book I obtained when I was first starting out. I found it very helpful as it contains both tab and notation of some easy tunes. It also comes with an audio CD so you can hear how the tunes are suppopsed to sound. </p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>if I understand you correctly, you wonder if you can learn to play banjo (stroke style) from this book?</p>

<p>If you want to play banjo music there are far better sources, I would guess. Tim Twiss homepage would be a good start:…</p>

<p>If you want to play banjo music there are far better sources, I would guess. Tim Twiss homepage would be a good start: <a href="http://www.timtwiss.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Twiss</a> There you will find old tutor books free, to download and print out.</p>
<p>I'm sure some of the more experienced players can give more and better information than I.</p>
<p>For the bones, I would suggest youtube :-)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
