Where is the pdf?

Good info but can't find the pdf that was supposed to be included. Will update review after I finish all of the lessons and/or if I get the pdf.

Blood & Sweat

I 100% recommend this book to anyone who is interested in playing the banjo. It’s possible some could find it too fast, or others too redundant, but by playing along with EVERYTHING, you just tighten up your playing so well. If it’s too fast, slow down the playback speed. If it’s too slow, skip ahead to other lessons. This is a serious wealth of banjo knowledge and my only complaint is it was priced too low, this author deserves to live like a king for creating this book. Thank you, sir!
