"John Dowling is one of my favourite banjo players and now he''s written a wonderful new book, The Contemporary Banjo Player.  It has something for everyone.  If you''re just starting out, he tells you how to position your hands and shows you basic rolls (finger patterns) so you can be playing music almost immediately.  For the intermediate players, he gives tips on improvising, as well as lessons in melodic and single string playing.  The advanced picker can graze on fingerpicking guitar style, bass line with melody and Banjo Percussion....plus much more.  These pages are a treasure trove of techniques tunes and tips, all delivered to you by one of the most creative banjoists to ever put picks to a string. No home should be without this tremendous tome!"
Tony Trischka (world-renowed banjo player known as the father of modern bluegrass).
