When my teenage son and I started playing the guitar I bought several 'teach yourself' books, and this is by far the best we found. It takes a refreshing, real-world approach to learning, offering plenty of encouragement (to keep you going through those early weeks of sore fingers) in the form of easy music and songs that you will be able to play from the very start. It also acknowledges that some things will be hard at first, and warns about them in advance. Despite this, it isn't 'dumbed-down', and is packed with far more information than the others we tried.

Ok, i'll review this book in 2 parts:

Firstly, the sections on hardware, maintenance, and general info about electric guitars. I bought this book expecting not to use this section at all, but has since proved invaluable. It's great for answering all those questions you had about guitars and equipment but felt too stupid to ask in the shop (the sections on amps and effects pedals is brilliant), and the maintenance bit contains all the essentials and more for keeping your guitar in top nick. Full marks for this bit.

Secondly, the (more important) tuition part. I was expecting the rhythm guitar section to explain in depth rhythmic timings and power chords, i.e. things important to ROCK guitar. However it concentrates on ... Read More:

As the title of this book suggests (Easy guitar) this is quite a basic book. i am an O.k guitarist just venturing into solos so i found this book pretty easy apart from a few songs, but don't get me wrong this book is good and when you play from it you think yeah that sounds good! you will not find any of those amazingly good solos written in this book. so if your a Metallica fan and a beginner i recommend this book if your a better guitarist then i suggest the more detailed books.
