I found this book to be very beneficial for a new guitar tuning (DADGAD) that I'm learning. It also has online links that are very helpful.

[Jeremy Wood · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not great. I was able to pull a few interesting bits from it, but it is way too thin on details. It’s basically a quick transcription of some online videos. Read a different DADGAD book.

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

DADGAD is a lot of fun: you can make a lot of music with a minimum of left-hand fingering: the I IV V chords can be approximated with just one finger moving across the second fret. With a capo, you have three chords available in any key.

If you want to go further than that, this book will help you on your way. It's probably more useful in paper form - and that's true of all music books.
