Jerry plays and they produce a cool & unique vibe after lots and lots of practice. (did i mention that it takes LOTS and LOTS of practice?) The companion CD reallys helps the learning process. My favorite tab is Kissimmee Kid . Very happy with the purchase. I'm relatively new to banjo and this book has songs that are able to be played by beginners and they get progressively harder as well, so there are songs for all levels of players! Great buy!
