This review is from: Mel Bay Fingerpicking 12-String Guitar Method Book/CD Set (Paperback)

I just bought my first 12 string guitar.(my 6th guitar actually) I rushed on amazon.com to find a book to help me learn to play the 12 string. Bought this book and thumbed through it. The only thing I found in learning to play the 12 string was one page. Basically telling me to play both the strings at the same time. The rest was just like any other guitar book I have ever seen.
This book is very basic on it's approch to play the guitar, with nothing really about 12 string playing. I'll help anyone looking at this book right now. Play the pair of strings as one.
