I asked my daughter to give me the paper version for Christmas.Of all the books that promised to make my middle-aged fingers fly across the fretboard - this is the one that got me playing recognisable tunes right from the start. Chords also start as single finger triads and again you can play real music with every new chord introduced.Obviously; to get anywhere; you need the discipline to work through the book from start to finish. I practice each exercise with a metronome at 60 beats per minute until I hit all the notes accurately. Then I play twice as fast; but with the metronome still at 60 beats per minute. This helps my ear and tapping feat to keep the beat while I practice playing two notes per beat.This book works for me.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Video portions good also. Easy to download to PC/MAC or IPADBy JBArkieVery Complete book for beginning guitar. Includes DVD and software that allows you to play either the chords or lead portion of many of the songs and mute the other part depending on which part you are working on. Video portions good also. Easy to download to PC/MAC or IPAD. Not a "Picking and Grinning" book with just words and chords; it starts out teaching you how to play simple melodies and every aspect of reading music. You learn some notes and get the fretting hand in shape before trying to make difficult chords. Songs included from mostly folk and classical genres are selected really well to teach the technique of each lesson. Works well for self study or would be good for a teacher to use. DOES NOT have any TAB! If you want to start with TAB AND Staff; then get Alfreds "DIY Guitar" book. Designed for the student who really wants to learn music. I have looked at the other popular Method books and this one seems to be the best.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nothing special; move alongBy Christopher ParkerIm honestly not too impressed with this book. I have used it to teach a few students how to play guitar. I think it takes too long to get to all 6 strings. I do appreciate that it has an emphasis on reading notes (which a lot of guitarists dont do); but I feel it dwells too long on each string. I.e.; you only learn 3 notes per string. You might be on one string for 3 pages; two strings for 3-4 pages; 3 strings for 3-4 pages; etc. Once you are at the 4 and 5 string marks; there are a lot of songs being played that would just be easier to learn if you already knew full chord formations (which I went ahead and taught my students). It is so much easier for them to play songs when their hands are in the basic chord formation. They are more likely to use the proper fingers and they arent struggling with find which string to play. I guess its not a terrible book; but its nothing special. I dont think I would use it again.
