One big box enclosing all the details

One of the best books I have ever found. Easy to understand and well written specially for the beginner to learn how to play guitar

A nice progression of lessons with no music reading required. (Although if you can read music already or learn it is a great help in my opinion). Good diaphragms and notes for online support. More for an older child or adult.

Learning to play the guitar is not as easy as experts claim

I liked the book. The instruction is clear. The illustrations are superb. But I need more time to learn. Thanks!
