The Acoustic Guitar Bible is the definitive one-stop shop for anyone with an interest in the instrument that has been the bedrock of popular music for centuries. The book begins by tracing the humble origins of the instrument through the millennia, from 19th century troubadours, to the unplugged movement of the 90Â’s and beyond. Eric then takes us on a detailed tour of the players, techniques, and kit that has defined the genre over the years. Includes two CDs, a "360-degree" exploration of the world of the acoustic guitar, care tips, and much, much more!

Definitely worth getting,
By a user (germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Acoustic Guitar Bible (Paperback)
Starting in the mid-'90s, I regularly bought the English magazine 'Guitar Techniques' whenever I could lay my hands on it here in Germany, simply for Eric's great acoustic section and beautiful playing on the CD that accompanied the magazine. The few short remarks that introduced each piece conveyed a great warmth and quiet humour; Eric was, even at a distance, a great teacher.I was delighted to find this book - as another reviewer says, Eric's originality and the completeness of his mastery of fundamentals are reflected in its structure and writing. I had bought several other guitar books before this one, but for acoustic guitar, along with Jamey Aborsold's, this is the one I reread most often.

THE BEST ACOUSTIC GUITAR TUTOR EVER WRITTEN,
By
This review is from: The Acoustic Guitar Bible (Paperback)
Eric (R.I.P.) was a great musician and a great teacher (please see his web-site) and unlike most other tutors, this has been very carefully thought out and worked up from scratch. Any guitarist would benefit from owning this I think, regardless of the stage they are at. It is outstanding and comprehensive and comes with two CDs.

Need to read music not Tab,
By savo (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Acoustic Guitar Bible (Paperback)
This is one of the best finger-style acoustic guitar instruction books,but, whoever did it, editing on this book is one of the worst I've ever read. While reading music, sometimes I refer to tabs to see the preferred finger positions, then I realized that some tabs are so wrong....ex: 2 exercises on pg37. Please read carefully, if needed, make your own correction. Other than that, the book and CDs are really good. R.I.P. Eric
