It introduces you to a whole new range of tunings and chord positions, which are simply not to be found in any ordinary guitar instruction book. Songs and compositions by such outstanding modern guitarists as Dave Laibman, Eric Schoenberg, Eric Kaz, Marc Silber, and others make this book unique among today's guitar guides.

He is also a guitarist's guitarist, veteran of concerts, personal appearances, and recording sessions in the U.S. and beyond.
