What has already been said is true. If you're serious about tapping, this is the book you want. But, you'll have to employ 8 fingers for the tapping examples in this book. If you're not serious about tapping, don't bother getting this book, you'll just get depressed. At times, some of the techniques can seem overwhelming, but stick with it and you'll be composing some awesome material based on the ideas you'll glean from this book. But again, be forewarned that the examples aren't easy to master. True, some of the examples are easy, but the majority take time, patience, and a lot of practice to master. If you're up for the challenge and want to employ advanced tapping to your style, get this book. You won't regret it. Just to let you know; I've had this book for over three years and am still working out of it and learning from it by actually gleaning new things to add to my style. I highly recommend the book as it has been a great addition to my library.

Wow, this book is absolutely insane. The ideas presented in this book are alot more difficult and complex than your average Eruption tapping. With that being said, you should only get this book if you are serious about tapping and intend to use more than your index or middle finger. The ideas sound very good and this is the book but be warned, you should only get this book if you have mastered single finger tapping and if you have tons of time on your hands cause it will take ALOT of time to master this material.

Good book for learning to tap however not what I was expecting... though I realize on should not judge a book by its cover in this case the cover leads one to believe this is tapping technique "Over The Top" of the neck using both hands (like a piano). Not so however, there's lots of good info on the tapping technique and I am enjoying this quite a lot.

This book goes way beyond simple tapping like 'Eruption'(Good song, but simple compared to this). You start by exercising all four fingers on your left and right hands(hammering with the right hand pinky takes a while to get the hang of), and it gets increasingly harder from their. As the others have stated it takes a bit of practice to get this stuff down, but people who are at an advanced level are used to practicing a lot anyways. Depending on how much you practice you could master everything in this book in about a month. That said, GOOD LUCK!
