Others say...

"Worth the price."
For a beginner who is truly willing to practice, the book is excellent. One wants to move ahead because of the appearance of simplicity at the beginning, but that is a mistake. Taking the time to do the rote work over and over makes the book and CD a great way to get started.

"How Easy It Is..."
This book, along with the CD, is so easy to follow. After two weeks of lessons from the book, I'm more capable with my guitar then I was with a month of face to face lessons with my local guitar instructor. The book's lessons are very easy to follow, and along with the CD you can check out if the songs your playing actually sound how they are supposed to sound. What else can I say? If you really want to learn how to play the guitar, this book is your best bet to get started.

"Great book for beginners!"
This is an excellent guitar instruction book for beginners. I had never even picked up a guitar before, but thanks to this book I am playing songs on the guitar without the expense of lessons. This book will teach you how to read notes and also where they are located on the guitar, as well as what fingers to use on the left hand. This book also teaches tabulature for those interested in that. All around, this is a fantastic guitar instruction book for beginners.

"great book!"
this is a great book if you are an absolute beginner! it made playing very easy, and was not discourging at all, like some other books i've tried that started out too hard or were too boring. i've finished it, and feel like i have a good foundation in guitar now.

"Good beginner book!"
I started as an absolute beginner. This book and CD have been great. I'm learning songs, learning to read music and "tab". The enhanced CD-ROM material is very helpful.
It's a very good place to start.

What our customer's say!

"Beginning Guitar", This book isn't bad if you don't know anything at all about the guitar. It starts off a little simple for me, but if that is what you are looking for this book is for you. Good practice at fingering and picking. I think it is geared more toward the acoustic guitar than an electric guitar. Not bad for a beginner's book.

"A TEACH YOURSELF, MUST HAVE...", THIS IS THE EZ WAY TO TEACH YOURSELF. I COULD NOT BELIVE HOW THIS BOOK MAKES IT SO EZ TO PLAY FROM DAY ONE. THE ONLY THING IS IT MAKES IT TO EZ, YOU'LL WANT TO MOVE TO FAST THU THE BOOK. (ITS JUST THAT GOOD OF A BOOK) A MUST HAVE. THE CD IS A BIG HELP YOU CAN HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE ARE PLAY ALONG. SO TAKE YOUR TIME AND WORK ON YOUR SKILLS DONT RUSH IT. HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU LIKE IT DID FOR ME. I KNOW IT WILL.. GOOD LUCK

"Simple and easy to understand", Very simple and basic book.
Just keep in mind that it will teach you the first basics of playing guitar and that is it.
There isn't much on building chords, scales, advanced techniques. Which isn't a bad thing, since some books overwhelm and discourage a new guitar player.

"Why the hype???", I do not understand all the other reviewers who recommend this as a book for beginners. I have never played guitar, or any other musical instrument, and this book is not helpful.

It's only 80 pages long, and 68 of those pages require that you know how to read tablature. They only spend one page teaching you how to read tablature, which is completely inadequate for someone who is a complete beginner. There is minimal text in the book - everything is taught through tablature. There is almost no guidance on how to hold the guitar, and no guidance about hand positioning. No way is this a good book for an absolute beginner.

I recommend getting a DVD where the show you how to hold the guitar, position your hands, and strum. I assumed that would be on the "enhanced" CD, but it isn't. The CD is a joke - way too complicated for a beginner and poorly made. The CD would've been impressive 10 years ago, but it is very weak by today's standards. No video, small window size (it fills about 1/4 of my screen), and minimal explanation of what you're looking at. If you're a complete visual learner, this book and CD may be helpful. If you have been taught the basics, it might be helpful. As a beginner, it is pretty much worthless. The poorly produced DVD that came with my guitar is infinitely more helpful than this book and CD.

"Pretty Straight Forward Beginning Instruction", If 1) you have never had a guitar lesson, 2) no one has ever taught you how to play four or five basic chords and 3) you are a good sit-by-yourself-and-learn kind of person, this book may be just what you are looking for. I bought it as a gift to give along with a person's first guitar - and it worked for them!
Good luck to you, too!
