Adding to that, I'd like to say that because those tunes were his own arrangements of the songs, it needed an audio or video accompaniment. I recall having most success with some of the easier instrumental tunes from the tutors, as found in his second book. To understand the melodies of songs, I have found the Lester Levy Collection to be a great help.

Looking back on that book (it has been a long time) I would say that it would be well served with an audio disc. It is has a very good explanation of strikes and the right hand. That concept, however, was so elusive to me without seeing it. It has a great selection of songs, but I recall not understanding where the "tune" was in those relative to the lyrics. That was my experience with it. I ditched it when the other one came, and it became my "first" book instead of that one.

It's not making sense to me either. It's good to know I'm not the only one. I'll stick with the other books and the clubhouse.<br />

I have this book too. I'm looking for audio of his other book titled "learning minstrel banjo". I think I'll just look at the clubhouse and see what I can find. Thanks for the help.<br />

<p>It is a good learning resource. I prefer Weidlich's book, but there is not a CD with it. However, you will find recordings of virtually everything in there on this forum and on the Banjo Clubhouse (Thanks Tim!) Briggs Instructor and (I think) Rice's is available in tablature as well.</p>
