Good Points

- Left hand fingering included
- Standard Notation comes with tablature
- Each piece comes with background history
Bad Points
- Lacks an audio Cd.
- Wish there were more pieces
- Certain traditional pieces are simplified
Final Words
I would recommend this book for all playing levels who are interested in exploring spanish music. The master in tab series by Alfred are a good source for beginner to intermediate guitarist. The book lacks a cd, so one will have to search elsewhere (from the web: youtube or mp3) in order to get familiarize with the pieces.
