Radim's a fine player and teacher....should be a good book.

I purchased and downloaded the "instant" digital copy today, on a whim. It is drizzling rain at my house, so I made a huge mug of coffee, and watched the entire thing at one sitting. The lesson is well done, and Radim's voice is easy to listen to, and easy to understand.
This is not a "monkey see, monkey do" type of program (a good thing, in my estimation). He doesn't teach any tunes, and there is no rote memorization. It is all technique based, with ideas and instruction on how to practice, exercises to help with dexterity, proficiency, and etc. The "primer" is well worth the money that I paid, and I will come back to it again and again, as time goes by.
