Fundamentals of Five String Banjo arrives as a four disc set. The DVD demonstrates all of the lessons in high quality split screen close-up video at three speeds, slow, medium and faster tempos. There are two audio CDs included that has all the songs and lessons at three speeds as well and a practice play along track for each song. I could not fit all the audio content on one CD, The fourth disc is a CDR disc of the book that can be viewed on your computer or printed one page at a time or in complete forrm.

The book is 52 pages long and is very comprehensive. It includes pictures, learning tips on each song, detailed tablature indications with accents marks for melody notes and right and left hand fingerings.
