<p>IMHO- very helpful. Especially having an X indicate a thumb note. I found that stroke style uses a lot more thumbed notes as part of the melody than clawhammer, and it was one of the things I really had to work on since my instinct was to NOT use my thumb for many of the stroke thumbed notes. The X's really helped me get a grasp of the stroke style and how it was different from my usual clawhammering.</p>

<p>Once one gets past the beginning stage one can always develop their own fingering preferences anyway.

<p>Tim, your Early Banjo Primer is the first minstrel banjo book I bought. I has really been helpful. If you are thinking about revising it, I like the idea of the tunings and graded repertoire. That would make it even more valuable for beginers I think.</p>

<p>as I have been progressing I have found playing different versions of the same tune to be very helpful. especially if there is beginner and advanced versions of them too. Mark Weems Sweeney book does it well.</p>

<p>I've always thought about graded repertoire....presenting tunes in order of difficulty. I think including all the entry level tunes in various styles would be beneficial. At that point...one can go play what they please. maybe 50 tunes or so.</p>
