Book Reviews of Mel Bay Complete Country Guitar Book: Complete Book & CD Set
Book Review: Best country guitar book out there!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite its slim 100 pages this little book packs more instruction and song tablature than any other country book I've come across. Most country books focus too much on modern Nashville style playing. Sokolow goes back to the roots, giving an in-depth guide to Carter picking, bluegrass lead and rhythm, Doc Watson style playing etc. The song selection and arrangements are brilliant, including many well-known tunes and popular classics ranging in level from beginner to country-wizard. The only word of caution I would utter is that Sokolow chooses to sing over quite a lot of tracks over the CD and he is certainly no Whitney Houston. On the other hand the singing lets you get a good feel for the melody of the song and can be turned off through the fader on your player anyway.
