Lousy product,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alternate Tuning Essentials Book/CD (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Private Lessons) (Paperback)
Book is hard to follow and does not follow the cd. I have been playing guitar and buying books for 30 years and this is the worst I have ever purchased.
5.0 out of 5 stars
comprehensive and informative,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alternate Tuning Essentials Book/CD (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Private Lessons) (Paperback)
This book is worth it if only for their arrangement of Cello Prelude in C. Even the exercises are interesting and worth adding to your repertoire. One added bonus is the inclusion of some quirky, cool history on some of the tunings! Great cd with examples.
