I bought this because I just built a lapsteel guitar...This is a good book, however, I tought it would be a little more ''advanced'' in the techniques showed... This is more like a beginner book. So, if you are really starting, and you, re not already a guitar player, this might be just what you need.I' ve been playing for 25 years, so this is a little too basic for my needs... The section about different tunings and string sizes is for me the most useful part of the book...
Very good information for beginners. Good practice techniques in tab and standard notation. Covers common open tunings. Would liked to have included C6 tuning and scales.

I am a newbie. Before I get side-tracked by other tutorial materials I have not studied from beginning to end I need to finish this book which I have audio access to via my Kindle. It is easy to believe you need other tutorials but this book is a great place to begin because it is so comprehensive and interactive.

I thought the included CDROM was a lesson to be played on the computer that was actually a video showing you how to do note bends,pull offs, hammer ons etc. It's just a CDROM that can be played on your CD player.(no video) However I did learn a song or two in the open "G" tuning. I guess the book wasn't a total waste of money. I will be more carefil and make sure my next lessons I buy are in the "DVD" format. I really expected more. What a let down.
