I have to learn to play the guitar for a television project and as I was looking for a book suited for someone like me who had never even touched a guitar before, I found "Guitar Quickstart" and it is perfect! Some of the other books that I came across were way too hard to understand, but "Guitar Quickstart" brakes it down just right. It has very helpful "fill-in-the-blank" exercizes in the workbook that really makes learning the guitar fun. It's totally the type of book I was looking for! It has made me want to stick with learning the guitar after the project is over. Kudos to the author for writing such a wonderful book!!

The book couldn't be better exept for one thing. There is some information lacking that should have been taught before you get to the part of the book that teaches chords. You all of a sudden come into contact with notations that you don't have a clue as to what their meaning is if you've never read music before. Dim means "diminished", but what does that mean? what does a "7" mean when it appears in the name of a chord. etc. Up until that part at the end though, I felt the book was doing a really good job.
