Here's some studying and playing advice about this book. These arrangements are recorded in a loose style, just like a real performance, with arranged and improvised parts. The notation reflects the recording very accurately, and you can certainly play it exactly as written, but that does not mean you need have to stick to every detail. Feel free to play it as loosely as recorded, in your own style, the way that feels natural to you. You can play with fingers, or with a plectrum, that will also make some difference. It is not classical music, the notation captures of a moment of actual playing, so play it in a way that suits you!
