The Banjo Buddy Banjo Book

Inside, you’ll find clear instructions, helpful illustrations, and step-by-step guidance on everything from holding the instrument and mastering essential techniques to playing beginner and traditional Irish tunes. This book equips you with the tools and confidence to explore and enjoy the world of Irish banjo!

PLEASE NOTE: all notations in this book are written alphabetically, using the ABCs. This teaching methodology is extremely popular throughout Ireland.

If you’re classically trained or have preexisting knowledge of reading stave, I utilize diagrams and the stave throughout the book to essentially “connect the dots” and “bridge the gaps” between these two notations before the tunes section.
