This is a handy getting-started text for the aspiring bluegrass player. The tutorials are helpful, and the layout is easy to follow.
More experienced players will probably want to use it as a reference for making up their own arrangements, since only melody lines are given.
All of the lyrics seem to be pretty authentic.
Good buy for the price.

In 1974, for my first three months of guitar lessons the instructor used a Mel Bay lesson book. To me, Mel Bay is a big name in guitar. And since I had not played since 1980, I really liked the easy three chord songs. I am trying to relearn enough to be able to sing along with my strunning. I saw videos about music legends like Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens. And they just strummed their guitars and sang. Of courze, they wrote their own songs, too.!! But I am just sitting in my living room and strumming and trying to sing along for my personal enjoyment.
