[Yycdaisy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not really the right person to review this book, 3 stars is just a guess. It looks like it's for someone studying to become a professional. It does have some exercises and scales and the like that might be useful for an intermediate player, but it gets into tricky stuff pretty quickly. It's in standard notation and TAB. The pieces at the back (J.S. Bach - Sonata #5 Allegro Assai, Paganini - Moto Perpetuo, and Wohlfahrt - Study #3 Moderato) are all advanced violin repertoire, so equally challenging or more so for a guitarist.
