I can pop in and out of the bits I need more practice on and give myself a pat on the back when I know I've succeeded at something. It's the type of tool that I can keep by my side and use for the rest of my playing life. Review: Great companion to book one. - I bought this book along with book 1. It is set out in much the same way as book 1, being easy to work through with exercises introduced to the user gradually, and the addition of the accompanying tracks on CD. In terms of 'value for money', I can't fault either book and would highly recommend them.
