Erm, I didn't think they would actually have this on here...

Anyway, this is going to be on my 'currectly-reading' shelf for a while, since is the book my guitar teacher is using.

Don't waste your money

Poor structure, don't even have all scales shapes, don't waste your money, there are plenty of better books out there.

Excellent book for beginners to intermediate. Teaches basic chords and note reading.

A decent book that will help players of all ages get started. But it won't take you to the intermediate and virtuoso level. for that you will need the book How to Become a Guitar Player from Hell, which contains a lot of techniques this one leaves out, such as arpeggios, finger tapping, muted harmonics, exotic scales and chords, modes, playing "outside", and more. How to Become a Guitar Player from Hell also contains never before published methods such as the "wah-wham" technique, unorthodox tremolo bar manipulations, and radical outside-the-box thinking exercises. Google the title to find out more about that book.

This is my favorite introduction to guitar book and I highly recommend it to anyone staring out. I do wish it had additional coverage of electric guitars vs acoustic and common guitar tab

Great book. Books 1 and 2 were great. I wasn't so impressed with book 3.

Excellent guitar method.

This is a complete down to earth guitar method which I'm certain that a six year old can comprehend, and succeed.
