Query: Not for the beginning banjo player, in spite of the title!

I have been playing banjo for only 3 years, so I still consider myself to be a "beginner". I started with a Janet Davis book and DVD and was on my way. After a while I decided to push ahead with a different style, and Tony Trischka's book was recommended to me by the guy at the guitar store. I bought it but should have looked through it better first. It came with a cd and there is very little instruction in the cd at all. It is nearly impossible to figure out what he's talking about. If someone who has been playing for a while is having a hard time figuring out what he's talking about, a true beginner would be totally and completely lost and frustrated. I'm ready to ditch this book. He may be a great banjo player, but just being a great player does not make one a good teacher. One cannot assume that the audience is trained musically if one is putting out a book for beginners. This guy assumes way too much.
