Customer Reviews

Excellent fingerpicking material
The thing I really liked about this book is that the pieces are really fun to play and listen to. I've found that fingerstyle tunes often are just elevator music, especially at the instructional level, but these are really cool sounding. As the description says, it's for intermediate-to-advanced players; it doesn't teach fingerpicking skills, but what it does is give you some great material to use to propel yourself from the advanced beginner stage on up there. The chord diagrams at the beginning of each piece are extremely helpful, and the tab is clear and concise. The songs cover an array of styles: boogie, blues, rag, classical, and country. I've looked all over but haven't found a better intermediate-level book for the fingerpicker.

Not bad
I am an intermediate - advanced fingerpicker.
I purchased this book after going through "fingerpicking guitar licks" by the same author (still cant play pineapple rag properly). This is not the same type of book. Where "licks" provides progressive incremental little ditties before tossing you onto a song, this book is really a "here is some nice tab to play" book. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the style of fingerpicking that this book and the author represents. Dont expect this book to contain lessons as in "fingerpicking guitar licks".

Not the best
I will not recommend this book to someone who wants to learn something, it is very good for practise if really are good at fingerpicking then I would say give it a try but there are so many better books by the same auther!
