Customer Reviews

Excellent guitar book.

Very helpful with learning the guitar 🎸. Excellent price.

It's got everything

This book is truly a bible for guitar players. It has everything listed in easy to understand graphics. The instruction is easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone.

Guitar Lesson Book

Bought a guitar for a child we sponsored at Christmas because it was on her wishlist. It occurred to us that she would need some help learning how to use it. This instruction booklet was the perfect addition!

Great resource

This is one of many books that I have purchased. However it spends a lot less time on the bookshelf than many of my other books I have purchased for the purpose of learning guitar. I recommend it to guitar players that are just outside of the step of begining yet not quite intermediate.

This item was purchased as a gift and was well recieved. It is very thorough and extremely helpful. The order was filled promply.

Great beginner's resource

In common with many gigging guitarists I keep a copy of Phil Capone's Guitar Chord Bible permanently in my guitar case, so I was interested to see he had written a new book. In it he takes a step backwards and addresses the guitarist who is learning to play the instrument. Although familiar with all the techniques he describes, I can't help thinking that I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I'd had this book twenty years ago. The chord and scale libraries at the back of the book are useful (although Capone's Chord Bible, mentioned above, is really unbeatable in this regard) and the included CD ensures that the student reader can hear what the material taught in the lessons should sound like when played correctly. All in all, this is a good package, and one I shall recommend to my students.
