5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to get started on the guitar.....
This guitar book is very clear and to the point with bold and easy to understand illustrations. It provides the easiest way to play guitar chords and how to form chord progressions from them. It includes plenty to learn about playing the guitar for anyone making that first go at it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this book really for First Timers?
I really had trouble following this book. I have never played Guitar before and I was utterly confused over what this guy was trying to teach me. If you have no experiance in playing the Guitar then i would suggest looking elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too little info spread across 48 page, January 19, 2002

This review is from: The "Pre-Stage" Guitar Book - Learn How To Get A Grip On Your First Guitar! - Learn How To Play Guitar! (Spiral-bound)
Although this book has some helpful information, the author spreads too little useful information over many pages.

The book starts out with the usual how to hold/tune/strum your guitar and a fret chart. It doesn't "Get Going" (to use the author's term) until page 14A. Here we finally find the usual C-A-G-E-D-Em-Am charts. All in open form. F-G7-Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are added later. The approach is in a logical sequence; however, there is very little quality information above and beyond labeling those chords that are moveable (they can be transposed anywhere on the neck using the same finger positions), and some very simple progressions.

We get some additional chord charts starting on page 29; however again the information is so spread out that, for the rest of the book, the author takes a four chord diagrams per page approach.

Quick synopsis: The author has a nice approach that's useful for a beginning guitarist; however, he could and should have packed A LOT more useful information into a 48 page book.
