Reddit mentions of You Can Teach Yourself Banjo

I made slow progress teaching myself for a year with a Banjo for Dummies book. I learned like two rolls and an easy version of Cripple Creek, but it wasn't satisfying, and there was almost no progress after that.

I know Banjo Hangout has some lessons and material, but I haven't used them. I managed to find a great instructor, and he hooked me up with this book. There's an e-book version, too. I found the lesson progression to be extremely helpful, and after a few weeks, I had some basic songs and licks down, and I found that subconsciously, I had learned a lot. Now I can't put the damn banjo down!
