Not just for beginners

Although this is a great guide to start playing guitar, it also helps those who have been playing for a while. Every step is easy to follow and puts the lessons into a real world perspective. Even if you don’t know what style you want to play, you’ll still learn a lot. It explains things like A to D minor change and how to practice four chord changes. The glossary is also a good place to focus if you’re just starting out since it explains terms like legato and slur. Overall, I think a lot of guitar players would get a lot out of this guide.

A very comprehensive book on guitar.

This book is awesome. It has very extensive information on the parts of the guitar, to using the pick and different strings, to musical theory and styles. My daughter, who is interested in all kinds of instruments and music will love this book.
