I too am happy with my book, I have developed a style that is not shown in any of the "official" teaching books and felt a little uncomfortable demonstrating it to anyone. After looking at Bob's book, my "new" style is exactly what he recomends! A combination of frailing, clawhammer and two or three finger picking with a little drop thumb included now and then. Bob actually encourages the student to experiment with different styles, unlike many other books and teachers who try to lock you in to one style. Thanks Bob, I really enjoy it!
