Used along with the internet course, this is probably the best introductory course available.

First I went through it fast and then went through it slow, crashing into a walk over and over until I could grasp a new concept. So, I guess I’m an intermediate guitar player now.

A great method for beginner guitarists, Justin runs a website completely free based on donations and the selling of method books. Almost all the content of this book is available for free on the website, except for a few bonus lessons, but this guy gives so much that I bought the book (it is also more convenient for practice). Justin definitely helped me get started seriously with guitar. His method might not work for everybody, but I know it worked marvellously for me (and for thousands of other people) I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn how to play guitar to check his wonderful website.

Just starting out and so far so good!
Would have given it a 5 star rating except the copy that arrived from Amazon is "Perfect bound" not "spiral bound" so it is difficult to keep it open to a specific page.

Brilliant guide for learning to play, it is available free on his website alongside his youtube how tos. It is nice to have a physical copy that fits nicely in the guitar case too. Highly recommended.
