can unleash an inexhaustible supply of new colors and ideas. A CD
containing most of the music examples, plus numerous play-along
tracks is included. This is a must-have for any serious guitarist!

words that reveal a "spectacular story!" With creative characters,
humorous dialogue and great music, The "S" Files is a children's
