[(5-String Banjo Styles for 6-String Guitar)] [ By (author) Craig Dobbins ] [November, 2005] Paperback

Good book but very hard to sort out the fingering and different tuning for a beginner like me. Needs a lower level to start . Good for " quality" guitarists. I was using it to try on a 6 string banjo .

love it, got book very interesting - cd just came today - thanks stuartit doesnt matter if your a beginner on the guitar or not its easy to pick upreally recommend this book and cddavid p

I bought this because I have six string banjo. I found the pieces a bit difficult to follow. Soldiering on with it.

I bought this book (not cheap) as I had recently bought a six string banjo and thought this book would help. I also play the guitar. For me, and this is only my opinion. the book does not help me at all. In fact, for me it is useless. The songs are obscure and technical details do not appear to have any explanations. The nail in the coffin was the book telling me to re-tune the strings. I bought a six string banjo (or banjitar) as tuning was the same as a guitar and chords the same. I can knock out a reasonable banjo tune with some dodgy string picking without this book utilising guitar chords.Maybe this book is OK for some but I would not recommend for those hoping that this will help them to play a six string banjo. My money was wasted!
