- Well organised book

I thought this book was extremely intuitive and with an easy writing style.

I liked the many diagrams which makes understanding the chord patterns easier.

However, being left handed, I also found the book very hard going, where I have to transpose over every tab notation and chord diagram.

I would not recommend this book for left handed players, although I would happily buy it again if Fred Sokolow would write and publish a left handed version of this book.

- Hard work - but worth it
Great value book - but you will have to take it slowly and work carefully on each lesson. I am only on lesson three after two months, but boy, have I learned a lot - it's exactly what I wanted after years of messing about: where to play, say, a C chord anywhere on the fret, or how a minor seventh chord is made up. Thoroughly recommended.

- Playing for years and stuck - now unstuck
In common with most of the other reviewers I really rate this book. Easy to read, few words, lots of good stuff presented in a visual way which suits me. It was also not expensive (I think I paid a little over £5) it's good value.

I've been playing for years (decades!) but never really got to know my way around the fret board and my chord playing was always well, quite amateur which I found an embarrassment. There are simple things in this book which have really lifted my playing. I now use a wide variety of chords and different shapes to produce more interesting playing; now I can play each verse of a song with a different set of chords. My "ear" has also improved and I can pretty much pay in any key, any where (after a ... Read More:

I have several "learn to play" guitar books, most of which are rather dry reading. This one stands out a mile because it is simple and yet exciting. When you work your way through the roadmaps you begin to understand a lot more about the guitar as an instrument. I have the DVD and some other books in the series, all worth buying despite some areas of overlap. Highly recommended.

- A must-have guitar book
After years of wishing I could play the guitar, I finally took it up two years ago. Coming cold into the world of music theory was scary and somewhat frustrating, in that there were no books or websites that really explained the guitar in a way I could understand and apply.

After reading the positive Amazon reviews for Fretboard Roadmaps, I bought it, along with the now also-essential Rikky Rooksby books 'How to write songs on guitar' and'Little Book of Chords'. Together, these three books have given me an undertanding and appreciation I only previosly dreamed of. Without these,and a lot of practice, I would still be floundering-around in tabworld, and not have made such satisfying progress.
