4 out of 5 because it's hard to understand, but is a good book

www.absoutelyunderstandguitar.com ... I bought that course after watching it, I understood the books. I owned these books for 4 years. They collected dust on the shelf because they were too hard to follow. I bought these books because my guitar teacher (at the time) suggested I buy them for him to teach me theory. I realized the classes were going no where fast and costing me too much money, so I quit before we even got off the first chapter of the Chord book (never touched the scales) Well recently I came across the 32 hour DVD courses from www.absolutelyunderstandguitar.com ... all I can say is WOW! Get the course if you can. Don't waste your money on guitar teachers. You get 32 hours of a teacher (who really knows his #$%#) teaching you theory. The lessons flow together. I retained all the information. He made theory very easy to learn. After I finished the 32 hours, I went back to the Everything about Scales and Everything about Chords books. They're great books now that I understand what he's talking about!

A great instructional book for beginners and teachers alike

When I first bought this book, I had mainly focused my guitar playing on notes and had no inclination of how to transpose, or even know what key I was playing in! Since then, I've learned basic chord theory (constructing chords, why things are what they are) and have moved on to advanced chord theory. This is an excellently written book that makes learning chords and chord theory easy and fun!

So far so good

I haven't finished the book yet, but it's got some great tips and teaches me theory which is the best so I can learn why things are happening. Great. It also shows a bunch of open chords which, if you're familiar with them and barre chords, is a gem (I hate barre chords) :). It seems to cover everything. Good buy. Glad I got it! Can't wait to finish it.
