It's not very useful? did you do any of the activities that I described in that book. That book was a really accurate description of how I and many of the really good practitioners of Klezmer learned how to play that style of music. There are no short cuts, it's not about, "I can't do a schmear so I can't play klezmer". It's about listening to some of the early practitioners and trying to "emulate" their playing as closely as possible. I will say this, you can't learn it without a ton of listening and a bunch of trying to play it and in my opinion recording and listening to yourself.
