The front says this is a 60-minute introduction to five-string banjo. On the back, the publisher says its beginner series covers everything from tuning and playing positions to different musical styles. That sounds like it could meet somebody who has just taken a banjo out of its case, which is probably where I'd need to start. The sleeve also tries to sell a companion book. I wonder how much of that promised beginner groundwork fits into this one video.
