Yes the second one is the one I have. The first 2 solos alone over a friendly I IV V "thats alright mama" will have you picking and seeing the neck in a new light. His slides and slurs in connecting neck positions and great chromatic embelishments against the Myxolydian scale are handy tricks to have in your bag. Cool use of open strings with hammers and pulls and right hand travis stuff are covered. Probably all very typical in country playing, but for a rock guy like me it has opened a few lanes. The tab in the book is pretty good , but there are some questionable spots where you can scratch your head and use your ears. Alberts playing is very very fast and relentless , but the cool thing is you can play the stuff slowly and it all still works.
