It is written in english, and has tablature as well as music notation in it. Included with the book is a tape with the steel guitar part, the backing, and both combined together. It contains a lick library of 36 good Nashville licks from the golden age (1960-ties). These licks are then finally put together in the 2 songs: "Steelin´In The Dark" is my own composition (by the way it can be played over the same chords as "Crying My Heart Out Over You". The rhythm is shuffle. I chose "Red River Valley" because it is known the world over. The rhythm is a medium slow 4/4.
