Mel Bay's Anthology of Fingerstyle Guitar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mel Bay Anthology of Fingerstyle Guitar (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to learn fingerstyle guitar. It worked for both me and my husband and we have two very different backgrounds. I used the book and learned quickly how to enhance my playing abilities, my husband used it to teach him the basics, and learn from the ground up.
