Rating: - Complete Guitar Method
I liked the book when it finally arrived. It took over 30 days to get the item. I would never buy a used item or like new item again. Thermite media does not purchase USPD tracking on the entire order. I could track my item for the first part of the shipment and then the final portion did not have a tracking number. The customer service responds quickly with an automated e-mail message.

The two dollars you save is not worth all the aggravation associated with the purchase. ... Read More

Rating: - Not exactly a step-by-step lesson book
The title of this book can be a little misleading. It doesn't give much of a step-by-step approach and it doesn't explain well enough to understand.

Rating: - highly recommended

I recenttly bought The Fingerpicking Beatles from Hal Leonard and I can say that only one music can be useful : Blackbird(excelent)...the rest has no sense at all.

USER FRIENDLY

That about says it all.

I got this guide with lessons to be self taught, before I decided to enter a Guitar beginners class at the local college.

Found out later that the instructor was using a Hal Leonard instruction book too.

It IS an outstanding source for anyone interested in learning how to play guitar beyond by ear.

Don't need to know how to read music, it teaches you at your pace, and with the number of notes and ... Read More
