Title: Hrmm...
Product review: This book comes highly recommended by Round Peak style experts, and does a fair job at walking you through the mechanics of Round Peak style, but frankly, most of the songs included on the accompanying CD sound like variations upon a few themes rather than distinct songs.As I was going through the CD, I was struck at how many of the songs sounded the same. By the last track, I was extremely disappointed. It's a bit deeper than just surface-level similarities - in my opinion, this book covers about 5 "themes", expanded into about 30 "songs". In fact, you could probably learn the 5 themes and just improvise around the themes to get the same net effect.If you are looking to learn a banjo playing style AND some memorable songs, this might not be your best bet - this book doesn't quite deliver.
