Melodic Clawhammer Banjo by Ken Perlman is succinct, comprehensive and logically ordered — a perfect starting place for the frailer interested in melodic playing…this book should provide hours of challenging and interesting playing for intermediate and advanced players.

Perlman’s treatment of rhythm is good, especially in the area of jigs and hornpipes.

Of historical interest: because the folks at Music Sales liked the flowered shirt and cowboy hat, they put banjoist Mac Benford on the cover of the first edition of Melodic Clawhammer. Mac, who would become well-known both as a solo artist and for his work with Highwoods String Band and Backwoods String Band, tells me that he spent years explaining to people that he had not written this book. Conversely, I spent years explaining to people why the picture on the cover didn’t look like me . . .
