<p>Notice on the title page it lists most of Converse's instructions books, including "Simplified Method for the Banjo." That must be that funky little proto-tab book that Greg discovered online at an AEBG.</p>

<p>Oh shoot, I didn't even notice "Ree Row My True Love" on that same page which of course is the ever popular "Gwine Ober De Mountain." This is so cool.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It is absolutely intoxicating to finger thru a newly discovered tutor, especially one like this that's so playable and has so many familiar tunes. I'm all aswoon ;^P</p>

<p>Cheers to this book. What a great balance of the styles in there. It has guitar style, banjo style, and some of the fiddle tunes. They all seem to have some continuity so far as the range of difficulty. I'm glad to see these styles were included together. This is a really good collection. It is a chance to see other arrangements of things ( Johnny Boker for example ).....good for comparison while forming opinions on how things were played.</p>
