This was 18 dollars down the toilet. I don't know what are the proper words to describe this, so I'll just say "this book sucks", trust me , you can learn more from youtube videos than from this book. It is very begginer, but I mean like begginer guitar Mel Bay grade one for kids book, begginer for Reggae guitar also. The cd recorded at poor volume gives you the sample tracks but it doesn't have a single play along in it. Let me put it this way, the only nice thing about this book is the colorful cover, I am thinking of ripping the cover apart and donating the book to my local library.

Each lesson takes you step by step. Once you get to Lesson 11, things started to make sense. Then after lesson 15, you started to know what Reggae is about and you will be really hooked. (If you already know and use barre chords, it will be much easier for you. In any guitar styles, you'll have to learn chords.) I don't know why they would give this book only 2 stars. Patience, practice, and perseverance (3Ps) are necessary in learning how to play the Guitar.

I learn more about Reggae now than before. Ray, thank you, and I hope you'll come up with video (DVD) for this book.

Good basic instruction. The audio CD is OK. Ideal for beginners on the instrument or in the reggae-genre. Easy and comprehensive explanation, gradually building up the degree of difficulty. If you're a beginner, I can imagine that you really have learned to play reggae and even better guitar at the end of the book.
