this a good magazine for someone who want to learn to play folk or fingerstyle music . I have try all of the other magazine and this magazine as far as content and price be above the rest . that be say , this magazine be only a good suppliment for you guitar learning . even if you do not desire to do anything but strum a acoustic guitar , I do not think this magazine can be you one source of literature . I would recommend that this magazine be purchase along with one of the mainstream magazine such as Guitar one or Guitar World .
