TESTIMONIALS
I just finished reading your book, "The Secrets of Successful Practising", and am writing to say "thanks!" I've been playing the instrument for more than 20 years, but I've seen very little advancement in my playing from about the first two to three years and following. Much of this, I know, is due to lacking effective practice and study habits. Your book has given me perhaps the most comprehensive approach I've ever seen relating to structuring practice for accomplishing my musical goals.

These songs are for the advanced guitarist and should be easy enough to work out yourself. These are the chords on the original recordings. Grab the CD or MP3 and have fun working them out. It is really good ear training as well, which is what you should be working on or good at, at this level.
