That book is a must for all five string players! It is very well constructed and contains a lot of good information! I call it the "bible of the 5 string players"

This is a great book from the banjo master himself - Earl Scruggs.
I've learned so much from this book and I know that there's still a lot more I can learn from it.

I owe my banjo career to this book. A month or two, my CD player, this CD and book, and I had my rolls (slowly). I reccomend this book to anyone wanting to start from scratch and still be using it years to come. It has an awesome autobiograhy of Earl himself, great stories and facts, tabs, and many learing techniques. I love the book!
