Summary: The Gospel according to Old Joe Clark...
Comment: A fine flatpicking compendium. A perfect pick of festival parking lot favorites and obscure old-timey tunes. The music is presented in standard notation along with the corresponding tablature. The tunes are arranged in a basic plain-Jane version of the melodies. The printed music is clear and easy to read.
..Now on to the accompanying CDs. Of the 250 tunes presented, only 88 appear on the CDs. I understand that to have all of the tunes included it would take 6 CDs or so...But this information wasn't included in the book's description, so, Buyer Beware! The lead and rhythm are separated into left and right channels so that you can play along with just the lead or rhythm. Mr. Kaufman plays each song through as transcribed then plays the song a time or two more with embellishments and variations showing the possible directions in which the melody can be taken.

This book, along with Orrin Star's "Hot Licks for Bluegrass Guitar," will give the aspiring, self-taught flatpicker every nuance needed to pick through the standards like the masters...Highly Recommended!
