GROOVIN' CHRISTMAS GUITARS
"... the whole set is made up in excellent taste and, what is more, the attached CD is brilliantly produced. Highly recommendable!
(Akustik Gitarre 6/01)
"... the helpful pedagogic support is a special advantage of this issue apart from the "Eddie-Nünning-fans" and friends of fingerstyle guitar this book might as well be of interest for the use in guitar lessons. Especially young people will certainly have fun with these arrangements and do their exercises e.g. for a Christmas concert with quite another motivation."
(online review www.gitarrehamburg.de)
"... with the "Groovemaster's" adaptations even worn out …Christmas carols sound pleasantly refreshing. However, for the polished voicings and playing techniques a technical foundation of the upper intermediate level is necessary."
