This was my third purchase in the series of banjo instruction books and tab collections and I must say that I was somewhat disppointed, not in the content, but in the publication itself. It appeared to be quickly thrown together, stapled and shipped out the door. It was definitely not proof read by anyone, for many melody and back-up tabs were reversed. The instruction is top rate and I have learned and enjoyed all of Patrick's lessons, but for this price, I really expected a much nicer music book. I always try to find books that are spiral bound because it is so much more convenient when playing from a music stand.

A fun collection of easy beginner tabs (much appreciated because there isn't enough out there). The format however and production is very amateurish and the price of $24.95 is definitely not justified. The copy editing/proofreading is attrocious! Jesse James is missing the first few bars of tabs. Several times it indicates "melody tab" where it is actually the back-up and vice versa. It is a nice companion to the How and Tao book but it is only worth about $10... A poor effort on a good idea.
