Summary: Great Harold Arlen tunes for beginning & intermediate guitar
Review: Mark Hanson has done a fine job of arranging the original orchestrations for fingerstyle guitar. Some of it is approachable by the advanced beginner; intermediate guitarists should find their efforts rewarded with a fun little repetoire which offers room for musical expression. (There are some fairly tricky harmonics.) The more advanced guitarist can develop a suite with much charm and a great deal of humor. Mark's study notes anticipate most technical problems the student will encounter. It would have been helpful if they were printed with each piece instead of in their own section. As usual, the CD is a great study aid. CDs with music books are the greatest thing since the pull tab. Oh, and I wish they'd printed Yip Harburg's wonderful lyrics somewhere. In TAB and standard notation.
