The Only Basic Guitar Instruction Book You'll Ever Need: Learn to Play--from Tuning Up to Strumming Your First Chords

Product Description

Narratives on famous guitarists and the extra details on guitar history are fine, but that's not what readers need or want when they are eager to master their new guitar. The Only Basic Guitar Instruction Book You'll Ever Need jumps straight into teaching beginners note reading, hand positions, and other essentials, including how to:

  • Hold their guitar properly and pick notes with their right hand
  • Progress beyond the basics to integrate playing with both hands
  • Shift positions, play harmony, and understand chord structures
    Although learning the guitar can seem intimidating, this easy-to-use, step-by-step guide is simple enough even for novices, who can start picking simple tunes and learn to play chords in no time.

      2.0 out of 5 stars Major & Minor Confusion, July 16, 2007

      I bought this book because I knew nothing about the guitar and needed the basics. The first chapter is fine, but the authors leave big gaps as they go along in teaching you the songs. For example, they teach you a couple of chords and then give you songs in tablature, yet they only offer a small paragraph in the beginning of the book about how to read tablature. I had to turn away from this book to go on with my learning. I don't recommend it. And, by the way, I found that photos of people playing chords doesn't help. Sound files and charts are much better!

      2.0 out of 5 stars Too basic.... better off with a teacher., December 26, 2006

      This one is just TOO basic - the level it aims at could be better addressed with one or two lessons - and, I believe, better. I didn't return it, though. I'll gift it to someone who wants to learn the basics - on their own!
