The Ignoramus book is 40 years old! Originally written in 1973, this book has taught more people to play clawhammer banjo than any other book ever has! This brand new 40th Anniversary Edition is newly updated and improved. It now has spiral binding to make it even easier to learn. It contains the same friendly, clear and simple instruction as the original book. It's been said that "Wayne can even teach a frog to play!"
