Great book
My son has been using these for his guitar class on school and they have worked well for him. They have songs of various complexities and helps him through the learning process.

Good, but considerably harder than book 1
Good book, except Hal Leonard makes a big jump from book 1 to book 2 intellectually. Kind of like going from Elementary School right to High School. Maybe this is because book 1 is typically easier than other Guitar 1 methods from other book companies. it's definitely the right choice after Hal Leonard 1 (Hal Leonard is an easier system than Mel Bay and some others). Really surprised Hal Leonard hasn't covered power chords and a warm-up exercise up to this point?

Better than book 1
I have used book one of this series for years in my teaching and finally decided to give book two a shot. It's so good! There are a bunch of passages that are riffs from legendary tunes. Very straightforward explanation of tab and fingerpicking. Definitely worth it if you/your student is ready.

a good continuation of Book 1
This book continues from Book 1. Has notes and chords and discusses some of the music theory such as root notes for chords etc. This is for learning music notes and not for Tab. But learning the primary chords by name, such as C, E or G7, is very valuable. Even if you don't want to learn all the indiv notes. Learning the chords by name is easier to play than by tab even.

I also like the layout which somehow seems user friendly
A bigger step up from Book 1 than I expected so it helped to have done Book 1 well without rushing it. Lots more new things to learn and still very varied and interesting. I also like the layout which somehow seems user friendly. These are very good tutor books, full of fun and not too easy.
