Perfect book for guitar learning.

Excellent book. Easy to understand, concepts are explained in detail, but not too much or not enough. The pictures help show the text off. This book has helped me greatly in learning guitar.

Nice!

Well if you are just beggining at guitar, get it. It is very useful but if you want to play harder songs you must practice songs in this book then learn to play tabs. Try it!
