No better book to start strumming

Hey, you know the words, why not learn the chords? This is the perfect place for a beginning guitarist to start. There are plenty of familiar songs you can use to practice open chord progressions. And who doesn't want to learn Rocky Racoon? Be forewarned--some of the songs are transposed to different keys to make them "easy," as the book's title implies. But don't worry too much--with most of the arrangements, you can play right along with the recorded version. This is a great way to learn some songs right off the bat. Every aspiring guitar should own Beatles Complete for Easy Guitar.
