Reader Reviews
This volume, like the others in the series, is mainly chord strumming. There are a couple of pieces for which single notes, and embellished and partial chords are used. These arrangements are worthwhile, but the majority are pretty shallow and best for comping. When you play them, the song may be recognizable, but it won't be melodically complete. One problem that is common to so many of this type of CD accompanied books, is that the guitar part in never offered in complete isolation. Percussion and other musical support sounds fine for listening, but to best learn the piece, a clean solo would be more helpful. I think the percussion, etc. is included to mask that weak arrangements of the strumming songs.
