Good luck with your new book.

What would you say the skill level needed is to play the majority of the songs? Just curious.

I would say most are very accessible for intermediate level players. Nothing in the book demands a level of virtuosity that the average player can't play. I'm definitely average in the playing department.

I would say that a few arrangements are more challenging - like Everybody Wants to Rule the World and California Dreamin' - because of their rhythmic complexity. You need to just learn them slowly bar-by-bar and then it all comes together with practice. To get the most out of the tunes, you should have basic familiarity with picking and bar skills like playing simple rolls, tilted bar, slants and basic blocking. Anyone who has specific questions about any of my arrangements should feel to send me a PM.

After listening to them clips, I think them are some cool arrangements. I'm sure the midi generated files don't do them justice. I may have to buy it just for that Linus and Lucy arrangement.

Thanks and yeah, MIDI is a poor substitute. I need to try to find the time to record a few of them.

It's in the works. I have a shoulder issue that's put me off playing lately but I want to record a few representative tunes if I can have the video and my playing meet my standards. Thanks to everyone who purchased my books. I sincerely appreciate it!
