Subject: RE: Learning the Banjo From Pete Seeger
Matt, with all due respect, I don't think that you can get the necessary beginning strums from Pete's book to cover the bases.

The dynamic range that Pete plays is represented by the fluid use of the various
basic patterns. These need to be presented in a cogent and graded fashion.
