Scruggs Banjo review

This is definitely the package for those with a desire to learn the Earl Scruggs method of playing the 5 string banjo. It does not make you practice, but it does encourage you to do so. Great product!

Great book, but not how-to

This book is ok... but you will purchase it with "Foggy mountain banjo" CD to have some samples. The CD included show some techniques to improve the right and left-hand rolls and tips, and some licks, but that's not a how-to-play earl scruggs songs. Tablatures are right, and the history of bluegrass banjo and scruggs' biography is superb.

This is a good book to get a solid right-hand, learning all the rolls and pattens used in Earl's songs, but remember to get a CD with the songs listed in tablatures.
