The book that taught thousands, first written by Earl Scruggs and published in 1968. It has been substantially updated and enhanced with Earl's latest bio, a chapter on the Nashville Numbering System, much-better tablature notation, and now includes more than 40 songs! A must-have even if you own the original! Includes everything you need to know to start playing banjo.
List price, book with CD: $35.00. |
