This review is from: Fingerstyle Guitar Solos (Paperback)

You dont have to know how to read music, the book has a simplified system to achieve that, the step by step progression of the notes, will not only involve you in the solo but you will begin to love playing the solo over and over again. I hope the author bring another book to satify the desire of her fans. The beautiful tunes in the book will make you learn the guitar.
