I like it
I purchased the product in part because of this thread.
I'm a strummer with aspirations to flatpick/play leads much better than I do now. Have never studied or played bluegrass before but enjoy listening to it.
The book works for me. The 20 different variations on the G run are great. When I listen to bluegrass on the radio now I find myself listening the rhythm work by the guitarist (when it isn't drowned out). Some of the old time bluegrass stuff is really great for this.
I find the bass runs creeping into rock/folk songs that I have been playing for a long time and it sure does make them more interesting. Can't wait to get to the lead stuff.
The author wants you to play with a metronome all the time. That can be a chore but it does illustrate how much work you need to do on timing. I thought mine was pretty good, but not so much when I get to the harder stuff.
