Rating:  Summary: Mark Hanson Is The Best! Review: Between the 1-note "Easy-TAB" books and full-blown "As Recorded" tabs, there's been a void of playable tabs for the intermediate player. Mark Hanson has filled that gap, and is the top guy out there today producing interesting arrangements for the intermediate guitar player. If you're an absolute beginner, you can safely pass this one up, but if you have a year or two of experience under your belt, this is a great set of solos for the Christmas season. Be sure to pick it up a few months early, though, because these are NOT easy. You'll have to work at them to get them sounding nice. Mark hasn't forgotten those of you out there with more skills, either. There are a total of 12 arrangements here - 4 easy, 4 intermediate, and 4 advanced. By the time you get to the last couple of tunes, you have some serious show-off stuff going on - way over my head, but something the advanced player can dig into, and the intermediate player can aspire to. Highly recommended for both intermediate and advanced players.

Rating:  Summary: Fingerstyle Christmas Guitar Review: Great collection of songs in TAB and standard notation. It is very helpful that Mr. Hanson arranged these songs within the book in 3 groups, according to the skill level needed to play them. Even the "beginner" category songs sound very full and satisfying. Hauntingly beautiful arrangement of "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." Only gripe is that the songs in the book are not in the same order as on the CD. No real harm done but it would have made it a bit more convenient to be able to listen to all of the selections in one sitting while paging through the book normally. Highly recommended.
