I had deja vu as I skimmed through the three volumes in this compendium. The first “book” is a very basic introduction – stuff I remembered from the last time I took lessons (fourth grade). Book 2 also had a lot of familiar song snippets like “Arkansas Traveler.” I was about to move onto another resource when I found the finger-picking version of House of the Rising Sun. Despite my stumbling on the F-chord, it was pretty fun. The third part had some meatier material, but its complexity doesn’t come across on paper. Fortunately, my library’s copy had CD 3 still with the book.

It was also useful enough that I’m going to order this one off Amazon.
