here to buy The Guitar Book: for those who have just landed on planet
earth from Amazon now. -- A reader writes: "This was the
first book I used to get started from scratch. The reason I like
it is that it has NO songs, so it took the pressure off having to
learn a song, yet the 4 chord sequences sound quite good (according
to my wife). It includes barre chords, but also alterative figuring
to barre chords, so you can learn them slowly/progresively without
pressure. "
-- Another read writes "I have been playing the guitar for
about a month. I have learned more from going through the chord
progressions in this book than a [$$$] one I bought elsewhere. It
certainly isn't all I need to know but it is a great start. I intend
to go on to the next one in the series"
-- "A great book for beginners to start with. Though I found
the combination of the book and lessons most helpful, I think the
book is clear enough that you could use it to teach yourself guitar."
