"Don't fear leaving standard tuning! Take a chance to learn something new. You won't regret it. Doug Young does a great job arranging songs to fit to different circumstances and levels of experience. Personally I really liked the very basic arrangements. I found these tunes very easy to add ornamentation to. Typically, standard tuning finger style does not allow for a sloppy style of play. These arrangements are very easy to work with.

The book contains so much quality instruction and genuinely musical examples! it is a model of how a good guitar instruction book should be written."
