Product Description:





Rating: - It's Okay
I found this easy to read and understand but I don't like the way the book is set up. You learn a few notes and then move onto chords. I would have preferred to learn all the notes and then move onto chords because that seems much simpler to me. But you can skip through the book to find the other notes.

Rating: - Helpful book
This book helped me out within five minutes of opening it. I have no time in my life for taking guitar lessons so I had been using the internet as a resource for learning to play as well as another book that I have.

Rating: - Great Book For Beginners
I just picked up the guitar 2-3 weeks ago. This book has been my guide since before I bought the guitar and now that I am learning to play. At the thought of learning to play the guitar I was at first intimidated but this book does a great job of easing you into the guitar and playing.

I recommend it for similar folks learning to play.

Rating: - Helpful for getting back into guitar
I recently got back into my guitar hobby and this book has been invaluable to me. I agree with the others who appreciated the user-friendliness here. THe book skips the fluff and is concise, which I appreciate. It gives you all you need about finger position, how to pick, how to read notes, etc. Also has some great songs in there. Highly recommended as long as you're not an expert.
