Steve James does a great job with this book. I have subscribed to Acoustic Guitar magazine and his songs and music are great. Sometimes there is very complex material so I put it aside and come back later.Why four stars?????I don't like taking the chance going to websites and downloading a CD to use. I have had past issues downloading tracks and its been a nightmare. Then calling or emailing trying to get it straightened out
