If it's intended to be guitar instruction then I too would question the worth of the book given the author's scant experience with the instrument (and not so hot performance during the interview). But, if as I assumed, it's about certain techniques that overcome the comparitively slower, more difficult learning when past a certain age then it may have worth.
At the least, maybe it'll temper all the "am I too old" posts. :D
Anybody read it yet?
