Thread Name: Learning the Banjo From Pete Seeger
Subject: RE: Learning the Banjo From Pete Seeger
I consider Pete's book the first important instruction book for a musical instrument in folk music. I learned to play banjo from it and about all those wonderful players who I've grown to love over the years.

I have Pete's video and it's perfectly wonderful. He explains things so simply that anyone could learn from it.

I love to hear him play the examples in the book he wrote. It's so instructive.

High tech video production doesn't mean a thing in education without people who can really present their material in a meangingful way. Pete certainly did.
