I Was Taught With This

My guitar teacher taught me with this book. It teaches you how to tune your guitar and the proper position in wich to play your guitar. It guides you through basic and big-sounding open chords and strumming/picking techniques. You even begin to cover reading music! That is the music industry music, folks, not just tabs. Not many other "Level 1" books provide that. It is a small, yet very versatile book. Obviously, it can be used as a teaching guide, though I strongly believe it can be a self-instruction book as well. The instructions are clear and they give you some popular songs to play to keep you motivated.

Good book to buy

I bought this book for a friend this book is what you need to start ive seen other books and they dont teach you to read music till way later or not at all and thats lame. if you want to learn to play any instrument you have to make sure you know how to read music if met so many musicians who dont know how to read their own intruments music and i amazed somtimes so if your looking for a good book to buy and teach your slef to play gitar this is the one and plus you will leanr to read music. Thats something you will be grateful in the future if you become serious about guitar.

Beginner

This book is a must for a beginner. I wont lie to you it is boring, boring, boring. But it is worth it in the long run. It is very important to learn your instrument from head to toe. That includes reading music.

It really helps

Awesome book teaches you alot of important things. A little confusing at some parts but that isn't a problem if you have a teacher. The price is great too. I recommend this if you are over ten years old.
