This book is good if you just want to learn basic little guitar tricks, which are easy enough to learn for anyone with half an ear for music. You don't need this book for that, though, even though that's about all this book could possibly offer. Maybe it's my own musical ignorance, but I was only vaguely familiar with about 4 songs of the 20 here. Isn't this book supposed to be for beginners? . . . If you don't have a guitar teacher to play them for you, then prepared to be lost. This book is almost completely useless to me because I have no idea what most of these songs are supposed to sound like or how they're sung (and I don't particularly want to bother with reading from the scale for my voice). I'm not a complainer, but I thought a word of caution was necessary for this particular book. I bought it because it was Amazon's top ranking bluegrass book, but don't make the same mistake I did. Hold out until you find one that comes with a CD.
