At the thought of learning to play the guitar I was at first intimidated but this book does a great job of easing you into the guitar and playing. I recommend it for similar folks learning to play. Rating: - Helpful for getting back into guitarI recently got back into my guitar hobby and this book has been invaluable to me. I agree with the others who appreciated the user-friendliness here. THe book skips the fluff and is concise, which I appreciate. It gives you all you need about finger position, how to pick, how to read notes, etc. Also has some great songs in there. Highly recommended as long as you're not an expert. Rating: - Good book for a beginnerIt's my first time to learn guitar, so finding a guide book is very important to me. This book is not expensive, but easy to read and follow.
