Would not recommend.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice guitarist reference for those Christmas Standards.By Warren K.Just a single pass through the chorus and verse(s); sticking to the composed melodies; so this is great for a quick ideas for the changes. A nice reference point for a start and can be easily adapted to more. No overdone improv; leaves that to the player as one might say it should be for standards. Printing/music notation very readable. Thanks for an all around nice book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cool book!!!By solarwindAwsome book; great arrangements.
