• Great Book For The Beginner

This book took me from not knowing the first thing about playing to being able to play now! It was a great beginner book im about ready to buy the second one.

• Good For Beginners
05 February, 2010
I gave this to someone who was completely new to the guitar. With the first pages she had already picked up hints that made learning it easier. Arrived in good time at a busy time of year.

• If I Can Learn It....anybody Can!
07 January, 2010
I have not played any instrument since I was a child in school. I am actually learning to play the guitar. It is amazing. This program (DVD and Book) is great. It is very basic. I like the DVD because you can learn a chord and replay it until you feel comfortable enough to move on. I am so glad I bought this set.

• Teaches Country Music Pick Style And Fingerpicking - Not Classical
20 September, 2009
Good basic book, however; this book teaches folk/country style playing, fingerpicking and strumming. Not for those interested in classical/Spanish guitar playing.

• Good, Some Fluff
27 September, 2009
This book has taught me the basics of how to do some chords and put them together into basic songs. It really doesn't discuss the fact that it's extremely painful to start playing guitar until your fingers develop calluses, which is why I've picked up guitar before and never stuck with it. I stuck through it this time and finally am gaining some facility with changing chords and strumming.
I realize the book is for beginners, but it seems to be written for children and people who have never played any instruments before and know nothing about music. There are also some fluff things like words searches and crosswords, which again, are fine for very young students but I just wasn't aware of that when I bought it.
The DVD is well produced- my one complaint is that she goes a little fast when she's playing. When first learning, switching chords is very difficult, and I would have appreciated it if there were separate, slowed down versions of the song so that I'd have time to follow along with her.
I wish I had had this book and DVD when I was younger; I'd probably be a lot further along in my guitar playing than I am now.
