 I had a guitar teacher who thought it was great. His wife played piano (and sang) and they performed as a duo, so he had several of Frank Mantooth's books. (I think there are at least four of them.) I worked in one for a while but it was over my head. I wasn't able (-then; I think I would be now) to smoothly translate his chords into things that laid out nicely on the guitar. The books *looked* nice, the songs were laid out well, and I liked having the lyrics there. When cash permits, I'll pick up one and work with it again. Frank knows his stuff.

| There are five volumes in this series. They are all nicely typeset with lyrics, melodies, decent chord changes and alternative chord changes shown in red iirc. They are a nice complement to the usual Fake Books if you want a different view of a song and/or you need the lyrics. I like them! |
