Excellent book for learning songs

As a music teacher I am very impressed with this book. It's the first one I've come across that includes both tablature and sound. This makes learning a tune's melody very easy. I've had many of my students purchase it and they are all learning melodies quicker than with any other mewthod. My banjo students in particular have benefited from the wonderful banjo backup provided by Bll Evans. What a treasure!

Parking Lot Picker's Songbook for banjo

Nicely put together book. The spiral binding makes it easy to open and it lays nice and flat on the music stand. It is a simple form of the song, which makes it nice for a beginner to learn from. A good variety of songs in the book.
The cd's are nice but it would have been nicer to have the song played a few times through, so that you could play along with the cd's, good though to hear the song if you are not familiar with the tune.

Good, but less than comprehensive

I was very pleased with the format of this book, especially the dual tab/standard notation. It has quite a few good songs, and the simple format makes it possible to play them in any style you know or just pick out the tunes. My only significant complaint is that it has fewer of the old classics than is excusable in a collection this size. More emphasis is given to gospel than bluegrass and folk. This is obviously a recommendation to any fan of such music, so I rate it "not bad".

Good but could have been better

I purchased this because there were lots of songs and audio cds to go along with it. When I recieved it I was happy to see it was spiral bound which makes it much easier to use. However I was somewhat dissapointed with the songs. They are actually too easy. There are no slides, pinches or pull-offs on any of the songs. The cds also have a very quick 30 or so second clip of each song which is not long enough if you are trying to play along with it. If you like simple songs this book is right for you. As for me I like a little more traditonal bluegrass style with pinches, slides and pull-offs.
