You will end up getting several of his titles as i have - they compliment each other. I just hope the other books by mr alexander are as good as this one.

You have to use your brains in order to understand the stuff but we wouldnt learn if we didnt have to push ourselves

Youll have to work at it take the time and work out the chords in a key for yourself actually do the transposition with pen and paper
