Traditional 5-String Banjo by Peter Flanagan provides a straightforward introduction to playing traditional music on the 5-string banjo, designed to get beginners playing recognisable tunes as quickly as possible.

The method avoids unnecessary detail and does not require the learner to read standard musical notation. Instead, the tunes are presented using simple, clear tablature, allowing new players to concentrate on finding the notes and enjoying the experience of making music from the outset.

Peter Flanagan devised the method and performs the music used with the course. The book is designed to produce practical results without requiring any previous knowledge of music theory, making it particularly approachable for anyone taking their first steps on the 5-string banjo.

Clear cross-referencing between the book and the separately available companion CD makes it easy to connect the written tablature with the recorded performances. Players can hear how the tunes should sound while working through the material in the book.

The emphasis throughout is on getting started and enjoying traditional music. Once players have experienced the satisfaction of playing recognisable tunes, the course provides a foundation from which they can continue to develop their knowledge of music and the 5-string banjo.
