5 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, and for people who feel they could improve   September 20, 2008
James Atkins
I purchased this book as it was required for a guitar course I audited at my University. The book covers a great range of material, and is much more than a chord/scale book.

This book goes into some of the history of the guitar, the components of the guitar, equipment used with guitars, and more. It also provides some basic knowledge of traditional musical notation, as well as tablature (TAB). The book offers pointers on song creation, and transposition of notes and chords, and, of course has a chord glossary.

Personally I've been playing guitar for eight years now, and I found this book to be useful in teaching me new ways of looking at a guitar, and helped my understanding of song structure. I feel I will keep this book (as compared to many others that I've left along the wayside) as a general reference as I continue improving my guitar playing skills.

I suggest that any beginner, or any guitar player interested in improving, think seriously about investing in this book.


5 out of 5 stars Best All-Around Guitar Book   August 25, 2008
D. Smiley (St. Petersburg, FL United States)
I found this to be the best overall guitar book on the market. It gives extensive background information, as well as having extensive scales, chord charts, fret layout, etc.

This is my third purchase of this book. I always seem to either give it away or lend it to a fellow guitarist and end up never getting it back.

Highly recommended for the serious guitar beginner.


5 out of 5 stars Great for a beginner   June 12, 2008
R. Newswanger
As a beginner at the guitar, I have found this to be a useful guide. It covers construction and care of acoustic and electric guitars, as well as information on how to read music, music theory, and playing the guitar.


4 out of 5 stars Guitar Handbook   January 21, 2008
Brenda S. Petitjean
My son was happy to get it for Christmas and feels he will use it a lot.


5 out of 5 stars Extremely thorough...from playing to care, performance, and recording!   January 18, 2008
Jeremy J. Deibel (Norco, LA USA)
Getting a book like this, I'm used to getting a primer in guitar theory. Not only do we get that (separated into three levels: Rhythm, Melodic, and Harmonic) in lessons that don't discriminate by genre, but also a full guitar maintenance guide, and helpful information concerning recording and performing live. Most of the book is very rock-centric, and I would have liked a little more attention focused on classical style just for variation. But I'm a rock fan anyway, so it worked perfectly.

The main reason I bought it is because the advanced guitar classes at Loyola New Orleans (my alma mater) used it as a textbook. I can see why!
