Kind of new to fingerstyle guitar. Saw this book advertised on accentonmusic.com

Anyone got experience with this book or by ordering on this website?

Or were this book is availble?

Hi,

I've not seen a copy myself, but a few people at my guitar class have recommended it. It also gets good reviews on Amazon's UK site, although slightly more mixed reviews on the US site.

My daughter has ordered me a copy from Amazon for my birthday, I was hoping it would arrive this morning, but it hasn't (I suspect she went for the cheaper slower delivery; kids  ::) ).

Have been working my way through this book. Very good and easy to follow. It comes with a CD as well which is very helpful. Always good to hear what it is supposed to look like.

There is another Mark Hanson book which follows this one called "The Art of Solo Fingerpicking" also with a CD. I have it but I'm trying to get all the way through the first book before I start the second.

Both are available from Amazon.com
Blackbird, Froggy Bottom, Gibson, Goodall, Hatcher,
Kanile'a, Kinnard, Kwasnycia, Martin, Rainsong,
Ryan, Santa Cruz, Taylor, Voyage Air, Weber

Mark Hanson is a very gifted musician and a fantastic teacher.....not to mention a wonderful person.  He teaches at one of our store locations.  I don't think you'll be at all disappointed in this book.
