I had the misfortune of purchasing this book/CD set. I coudn't find a single piece that was worth playing - it was a painful repetition of a single technique (bass-chord, bass-chord, etc). Unfortunately, since I had written my name on the cover before checking out the CD, I could not return it and collect a refund. I am willing to mail it free to anyone who wants it.Mario Ratnaraja nuages69@yahoo.com (formerly andrews2@sri.lanka.net)P.S Incidentally, I heartily recommend Duck Baker's "Art of fingerstyle jazz' CD to anyone. I even played it on 'Jazz with a guest' over Sri Lanka Radio .
