If you just want to hear Pete Seeger play, reminisce, try to sing, and philosophy, then this is a tape you will want to buy. If you want to learn to play the 5-string banjo, this tape is a waste of time. You are forever changing the volume to hear what he is saying and whoever is off camera talking, asking questions, and reminding him what to talk about is very distracting. I found little or no actual instruction value throughout the entire tape. The quality also leaves something to be desired as it appears to be a copy of the original with some distortions.
