Pick Pluck Play! Book 2

The second book in my new series Pick Pluck Play! builds on the twelve pieces in the first book. As with all books in this series, I lay out the chord diagrams used in the book at the very end. Blog posts for the twelve pieces are linked here. Paperback edition published on Amazon worldwide on 22nd November 2025. Two bonus gifts at the end of the book.
