Mr. Perlman has surrounded each song with excellent background and technique. The author has chosen each song as a building block for a true fingerstyle course. No book is really complete by itself, and this book works well used with Tommy Flint's method book, even if the sequence doesn't sync completely. Yet, I'm really glad I bought this book. Mr. Perlman's photographs and text are unlike those found in the Flint, or even the highly rated Harmon books, and give the best technique hints I've found in all my books. (I've got to note the thumb over bass notes in the F and Dm fingerings work for me--even though they are pretty unique) This book moves along at a pretty fast clip--at least so far as I have gotten through the first half--- and I'd recommend some other books for true guitar beginners. But when one's ready for fingerstyle--perhaps after a few months of plectrum playing--this book shines. I'd give the book 4 stars, but if purchased along with the companion DVD-- it's truly a full-fledged course--and together the products earn a full 5 stars. Thank you Ken Perlman. Review: Good intro to fingerstyle, with both standard notation and tablature. - This is a well-designed book by someone with a good sense of how to teach a complex subject in a manageable way. It gave me my start, back in the days before YouTube. Bought this one for my niece. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,407 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #326 in Guitar Songbooks #1,107 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) #2,016 in Musical Genres | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (34) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.57 x 12 inches | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 157424115X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1574241150 | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 242 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2002 | | Publisher | Centerstream Publications | ## Images ![Fingerstyle Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kVIM9qUYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recommend this Instructional Method Book. *by J***A on September 16, 2014* This instructional method is pretty dated, but unlike most of the books this beginning self-taught fingerstylist has bought, this is more than a beginning song book with some instruction.

It gave me my start, back in the days before YouTube. Bought this one for my niece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful in many ways, even for fingerstyle beginners *by O***Y on February 18, 2025* I bought this book after a shoulder injury steered me away from flat picking, which I was not that adept at anyway. I had started with a couple of the Bruce Emery books and had found them very helpful- and easy to read. Most of the positive attributes of this book have been covered by other reviewers, so no need to repeat them here. My main criticism has been mentioned in at least one other review: the numbers for fret notation in the tablature are often illegible due to font size and/or print resolution. I often resort to the use of a magnifying glass to sort it out. I am seconding this criticism in hopes that if there is a reprinting the quality of tablature printing might be improved. Otherwise, it is a very useful resource. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/16820726-fingerstyle-guitar](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/16820726-fingerstyle-guitar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
