“I especially like the practical advice about simplifying in complicated or difficult song sections. Getting permission to ‘cheat’ and knowing it will work fine is a big deal ….the book becomes very useful as a practical framework of the fretboard in the end. I found the book entertaining, practical and look forward to the next!”
