    A reviewer

    Good book with some great tips for someone who already has knowledge of the instrument. You've GOT to put out a CD of all the songs with the book, though. Students can't read such complex rhythms very well, and need some audio assistance. Still a good value for the price.

    Not So Much

    Being younger and out of tune with the songs, i found following along with the book hard. It was also hard for me to understand what i was exactly supposed to do.

    Pretty good book for a beginner

    This is a pretty good book to use if your first learning the guitar. I'm sure if you already had some experience you would find something usefull. For instance the book's lessons contain standard music notation with explanation of the symbols and it also teaches you how to down strum and upstrum. One of my friends who can play Jimmy Buffett songs never learned to read notes, or how to upstrum. He said I'll be better than him one day soon. I've learned to play Wonderwall by Oasis and Zombie by the Cranberries. Some other lessons so far included Wonderful Tonight from Clapton and Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. I've only been playing the guitar from 2.5 months. Get the book and keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it. Some of the chords are tough at first, but with practice they get easy. It's very important to practice alot to make the finger tips tough to hold the strings down!
