Hi all!

Just bought a used banjo from EBay and have started self-teaching... I don't have any previous instrument experience and would be grateful of any help with some good books, videos etc...?

Also, does anyone know of anyone in West Lothian who teaches 5 string Banjo?

Cheers,

Burnsy

Check out my band The Daddy Naggins and if you ever want to meet up for a few pointers the feel free to call me on 07515 790 190. Good luck , Garry. Ps. I presume it is a 5 string you are playing. If so , I would heartily recommend tony trischka's book The Complete guide to bluegrass banjo. And of course the earl Scruggs book. Cheers mate

Just learning the basics for now. I don't have instrument experience so I'm having to learn with tab. Burnsy
