Great Buy!
I am liking it a lot. The spiral binding is a win because it lays flat on the music stand. I love that the exercises, scales and songs are in music notation instead of tabulature. I really like how the lessons are organized, starting with the basic scales and exercises and loaded with songs to practice each newly-learned skill. Great buy.

As good as I remember
After being away from playing for over a decade, it quickly refreshed my memory! Combined with a great instructor, I feel like I’m playing as good as ever.

A great teaching tool
I use this book to teach guitar to a classroom of 25 students. Lots of great things in this book, and teaches notes sequentially
