I think so if you are interested in flatpicking. It is also rooted in bluegrass. If you can play open G, C, D, and Am chord shapes, you should be fine with the first half of the book. Play each exercise as slow as needed to be accurate. A metronome is mandatory.
For someone just starting playing, I would advise they complete the Justin Guitar beginner course first (especially if you have no teacher) and then if you are interested in flatpicking, add Flatpicking Essentials to your guitar study. Make sure you always have some songs too to be working on and enjoying. The Justin Guitar beginner course will give you a solid foundation plus it introduces you to strumming, flatpicking, and a taste of fingerstyle.
Hope this helps.
