Excellent instruction book, 2008-05-02
I teach beginner guitar to young students. This book is an excellent resource for them. It teaches the basics at a slow, steady pace which I've found to be highly effective over the fast paced books for children. It encourages students to learn to read music and learn the basics of music theory, equipping them to become musicians and not just guitarists. The CD's are added bonuses as a teaching tool!

The Book, 2008-04-09
I bought this to try and learn to play the guitar and so far have gotten through a couple of lessons. Sadly, I'm having trouble sticking to continue the lessons, but none of it is the book's fault.
The CD provides play along and really helps you understand. I however found the electric guitar harder to tell between notes, but I suppose I'll deliver a ear for it as time goes on.
If your to get 1 book for learning how to play guitar, this should be your first choice. Has almost everything that you could possibly need. I couldn't find scales, but I didn't look hard enough so they're probably already there.

I love this Book, 2008-04-07
I'm used to playing other instruments (Piano, trumpet, handbells, etc) where I am given the notes to play and play them. This book first teaches you the basics of music and which notes are on which frets of which strings. You start off playing melodies with the CD. It eases you into the chords, and for me, this makes it much easier to learn! I can get my calluses built up before I get into the tricky stuff. It also allows me to come up with multiple ways to play a song. I can't wait until I get through the book and can play with my friends!

 Great guitar instruction, 2008-04-07
This is a great instruction book. I have some experience playing guitar so the beginning instruction was a little basic, but it still has a lot of good material. This book is perfect for the beginner!

OMG i'm playing the guitar!!, 2008-03-13
I have NO musical ability. and I had actually had a little kiddie guitar when i was around 12 but didnt do anything more than make noise. Beginning of the year I was wanting 2 things from turning 40 this year, one of which was "i want to learn to play the guitar to play 'Come As You Are by Nirvana'". So I got a beginning acustic guitar and looked around for a way to learn to play. I got this book, another book geared for kids, and a dvd. the dvd lost me in the first 10 minutes, the kids probably could have learned faster from that book than I did, but this book, well with the cds with it is exactly what I was looking for. i'm not exactly BBKING or Jimi, ok i'm not even going to try to stand on a streetcorner playing for change. But the teaching methods written in the book are at my own pace, finger positioning pictures are clear, and it teaches you to read music at the same time. i'm not finished with the first part of the book, not in a position to play nirvana yet, but if I can play ODE TO JOY or the star spangle banner, anyone can. cuz it shocks me that I can actually carry a tune thanks to learning from this book.
