Clawhammer Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus edition by Wayne Erbsen Arts Photography eBooks
I absolutely love this book! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. I am a completely beginner banjo player. I have also never played any other musical instrument in my life. Within 30 minutes of me reading this book, I was playing Old Molly Hare! It was pretty slow and steady but I was playing all the same. I am super excited about playing the banjo and this book has been a godsend! I would recommend it to any beginning banjo player. Side Note: As an African American, I also appreciated the author's inclusion of African American role/influence in old-time banjo playing. Thanks for the representation!Product details

Clawhammer Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus edition by Wayne Erbsen Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
If you want to learn to play a banjo, and learn some of the history and origins of the songs in the book, Wayne is your guy. He has a good sense of humor, and presents material in a way that you learn things in small, easy to master steps. I haven't used this book yet, but I'm learning bluegrass banjo from his other banjo book, and the method makes it fun. I'm just always picking up my banjo and working on something. The companion CD is very helpful, too. I like the bluegrass book so well, that I bought this one, too. Wayne is no doubt an excellent teacher! And if you have always wanted to know how to cook a groundhog, it's in the claw hammer book, too. Wayne has a good sense of humor, which comes in handy if you are going to play a banjo.
This book is outstanding! It is great for beginner pickers or experienced players that want to learn this style of playing. I started out playing 3 finger learning from Earl Scruggs book but I wanted to expand my repertoire and I have heard great things about this book so I ordered it. I can't say whether or not the book helped me specifically with actually learning the technique of playing clawhammer because while I was waiting for the book to arrive I was on youtube watching instructional videos on clawhammer so once the book arrived I kinda just glanced through that part. So please read other reviews about the technical aspect that the book goes through.
Once you understand the technique it's time to start putting it to use, so the tab is very clear and easy to read. This book comes with a cd which has 2 recordings of every single song! Most books I have that come with cd's only cover a few of the songs in the book so I thought that was pretty cool. And there a few different tunings which I believe a couple are reserved for clawhammer style songs which I thought was really fun to learn such as Double C and Sawmill. (I haven't come across the tunings in any other books I have and I have alot of banjo books!) My only minor complaints which shouldn't affect a buyer's decisions but more of a constuctive critique for the author is that I wish the song recordings had a fast tempo and a vocalist. It would be really fun to burn through some of these songs and sing along too! But I love this book and suggest anyone wanting to learn to bumditty BUY THiS BOOK!
Pickin to Clawhammer. Started out pickin on the banjo and didn't take long to realize that to get the full range out of the instrument I would need to add clawhammer style to my playing toolbox. This is not a compare/contrast or review of the two styles, just the book in question. Like all Wayne's other books this one is fantastic. The instruction is basic enough for someone who picked up a banjo for the first time and then opened to page 1, but still offers enough variation in each lesson that as one progresses they are still growing as a player. The included CD is a godsend because you know what you're shooting for as you play. This is the third book by Wayne I have picked up on my banjo journey and they are without a doubt the most useful items in my music library.
Yes, I'm a complete ignoramus, but ingnorance can be cured. I'm aloso lazy, which is harder to address. If you're like me, both ignorant and lazy, this is about the best you can hope for. If you don't p;ut at least a little effort in, it's not going to do much for you, but the book priogresses through baby steps to make it as painless as possible. If you are, as my favorite uncle used to say "too lazy to work and to timid to steal," it's not going to transform you or make you an instant success at this--but neither will anything else.
Great book to start learning the clawhammer style banjo. I have Erbsen's Bluegrass banjo book as well. I'm glad he wrote two books as I find I like the clawhammer style better and look to continue in this style of banjo. But, I will have the ability to play Bluegrass as well or mingle both as some do. Overall a great book that introduces songs(tabs) that help develop the clawhammer style and also introduces hammer ons and pull offs. It is this book as well as his other book that made me truly enjoy the banjo. Further, the songs(tabs) provided are much much older songs that I enjoy playing as well as enjoy the lyrics of a time gone by.
I bought the kindle version and am glad I did. A link in the book will take you to the download of mp3s. Or you can visit with the info given on your computer. After I downloaded them I uploaded to the music app which is awesome because I can access the mp3s on my kindle, on my phone or even on my firestick. So no matter where I'm learning something will be nearby I can listen to the song. Easier than a cd if you're up on your technology.
The book itself is awesome! I grew up around all the instruments, my Dad plays awesome banjo, but I never played. Don't know a stitch about music besides listening. Being in my upper 30's I kinda thought it would be impossible. I read this before my banjo arrived and every time I felt self doubt, this book gave me confidence. The humor and laid back attitude really put me at ease. Seemed less intimidating. My favorite line is a simple one. "You can play the banjo". Everything is explained so simple, it's easy to catch on. If something seems confusing, just look it up on YouTube or Google it. Something will click. It won't turn you into Clarence Ashley, but it starts you off playing some of the greatest traditional songs there are. Something I didn't think I'd be able to understand, but a few weeks and a few songs later and I'm obsessed with my banjo!
I absolutely love this book! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. I am a completely beginner banjo player. I have also never played any other musical instrument in my life. Within 30 minutes of me reading this book, I was playing Old Molly Hare! It was pretty slow and steady but I was playing all the same. I am super excited about playing the banjo and this book has been a godsend! I would recommend it to any beginning banjo player. Side Note As an African American, I also appreciated the author's inclusion of African American role/influence in old-time banjo playing. Thanks for the representation!
