Excellent fingerstyle instruction and enjoyable music to playBy Kindle CustomerIf you are looking to get started in Fingerstyle; this is a great resource. It starts out with some simple patterns; progresses to slightly trickier timing. The next step is to combime the patterns into very enjoyable etudes. The accompanying CD illustrates how beautifully musical these exercises can be.The music offered is a good variety of instumentals: folky; blues; ragtime; bass melody; harp-style and more.I bought this book/CD for an alternative to the other fingerstyle lessons I have that feature the boom-chuck sound of country blues. Some of the music in this book also features an alternating thumb-picked bass; but the bass lines are more integrated into the music; so it is an excellent change for me - just what I wanted.When I finish working through this book; I will definitely buy the intermediate part of the series.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
