Comments about Mel Bay Modern Guitar Method Expanded Edition Vol. 1-7 Book/CD Package:

All 7 books are wire bound, which obviously keeps the pages from flipping on you. In the description only the first book was labeled as wire bound so out of sheer paranoia I called Musicians Friend and a fella told me he was not sure but assumed they they were since the first one was. I bought them and was relieved when all 7 books were wire bound and of course you cant beat the 2 CD's that come with each book. Im really happy with them. All I have to do now is learn them. Which takes around 3 and half years according to my current teacher. Tablature is the easy way out so now after all these years I'm gonna take the leap! "Never to old to learn" they say.
