Summary: A great book for the guitarist that wants something new.
Review: I have been playing guitar for many years and wanted to branch out into a different style. The songs in this book are great. The tablature is well written and is easily understood. There is enough material in the book to keep me busy for a long time to come. The level of playing is for intermediate to advanced player. The CD is an extra bonus that is great listening. Warning: I liked the book so much that I ordered a Chet Atkins SST model guitar to accompany me so that I can sound even better.

Summary: BEAUTIFUL
Review: When I first got the book, I put the CD in to listen briefly to the first track to get an idea of what the pieces sounded like. I ended up listening to the entire thing. Track 6 was so emotional and unbelievable that I had pains in my chest. The price of the book is definately worth the CD alone. The book comes with probally around 20 songs with TAB. The songs are NOT easy so if your not a fingerpicker, then start with Mark Hansons "Beyond Basics Fingerstyle" book. That will give you the basics to play the easy songs in this book. There are songs in this book to challenge most players also. He did a great job of adding in easier songs near the back of the book. Theres also a couple of songs that are written for a duo. On the CD it is a flute player, but anything will work, even another guitar. My sister plays violin and It sounds incredible with guitar. If your like me, and taught yourself to play guitar, then this book is definately something to challenge and educate you in fingerstyle. After playing 1 of the easy songs from this book at a correct tempo, you will start to see immeadiate improvement in your style and fingering. In a wrap up, this is the book for you if you either A: want some great classical xmas tunes B: want to learn som great classical xmas tunes C: want to learn to develop some fingerpicking skills.
