Banjo Newsletter

As a newcomer to playing the banjo (< 5 years), I find the Banjo Newletter to be a wealth of information about the 5 string banjo and the various styles. They also review banjo teaching aids (books, CD's, DVD's etc.) as well as recent releases of CD's of interest to the banjo world. Each issue has a large range of articles for all interests, including interviews with musical celebrities, and lots of songs in tablature format. The paper newletter is supplemented with a very robust web site with MP3's that can be downloaded. This is very helpful to hear the timing of various licks. You can also order older newsletters with interviews or songs of interest.All in all, the money for the subscription is money very well spent. The banjo newsletter authors really love their work and it shows! Keep up the excellent newsletter!

I have subscribed to about 40 music magazines in the 43 years I have been playing various instruments. Too many of them have so much stuff that is not about music, that you have to struggle to find something useful. One doesn't care about how some top musician gets along with his wife, dresses himself, or signs contracts with big shots. We care about picking the banjo, setting up the banjo, and finding good music.

That is what BNL specializes in. It has tabulature and music for every kind of banjo player bluegrass to minstrel, beginner to expert. Its interviews focus on real banjo playing issues. I am happy to see articles in it by people whom I actually know and respect as banjoists, dealers, and historians of the music.

It is worth the money!
