I've been looking for exactly this kind of book to use when I teach. I formerly used MelBay and was satisfied with the quality and pace of the books.This book, while different from those I used before, meet my needs exactly.

I have used this guitar method for 30+ years. This is the standard of beginning guitar methods.

I learned from this book when I was starting out and have taught from it for years. I have looked at other books, but this one really lays things out in a common sense manner. Many of the songs are easily recognized, even to my young students. Some are older, more traditional songs but give the student a nice varied selection to include songs they may otherwise have never been introduced to. The book, without the DVD of course (that's what I'm here for) is great for teaching or learning on your own for a slightly older student (like a teenager or older). For a younger student (who does not have a teacher) the book may not be enough.
