I got off to a somewhat slow start with this book because I had many other projects demanding my attention.
However, I was able to finish it over the weekend. Once again, instructions are clear and simple. The authors give enough information for a student to have a thorough understanding of what they need, but don't get bogged down in technicalities.
Since beginning this series, my ability to shape the fingers for chords has improved, and I am able to play with a much cleaner sound (not as much fret buzz). I look forward to getting a chance to play "Auld Lang Syne" for family this New Year's Eve, and "The Bear Dance" is a fun tune as well.
