| Five-string banjo | Patrick Costello | A Book Of Five Strings | Old-time, bluegrass, blues | Pik-Ware Publishing | - |
| Pat Costello's approach to the banjo is definitely after my taste: His style firmly rooted in old-time banjo styles but ever eager to explore other territories - and he always focus on musicality rather than flashy show-offs. The blues content of this book may not be much, but it's very good. Especially since you can read it online for free! (Although, as Pat says, it's probably cheaper for you to buy the book than to print it all from the site. ;-) | |||||
| Five-string banjo | Fred Sokolow | Ragtime, Blues & Jazz for Banjo | Acoustic blues, ragtime, jazz | Mel Bay | 1983 |
| Almost mandatory for everybody who wants to learn how to fingerpick ragtime, blues and/or jazz on the five-string banjo. Accompanying tape also available. | |||||
