Enter to win a 2-book set by Wayne Erbsen of Native Ground Books & Music! Four winners will be drawn, each receiving Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus (book and CD set) and the new Companion to Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus.
The Companion was created with one simple goal in mind: to help you sharpen your skills by creating umpteen ways of playing the songs in Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus.
This is the world's largest, most active banjo community. Established in 2000, the Banjo Hangout features forums, classifieds, and a massive library of free banjo tabs, MP3s and videos.
