Editorial Reviews
Russ Hucek - Kradle Guitar Picks- July 2001
"Finally, an enjoyable method to learning to play guitar. Chris Lopez makes the complex appear simple."

Book Description
The "First Stage" Guitar Book is Boldly Illustrated with a See and Do Approach.... Free of All That Wordy Fluff....Only the Easy to Learn Guitar Information. The Illustrations are easily grasped; you will spend very little study time on long lengths of music theory.

For beginners and for those who already play some, it is an essential guitar instruction book to add to your guitar learning reference and study library. Learn to TRANSPOSE any chord progression (of your favorite song or something you have created) to suit your voice range, allowing you to sing with less stress and strain on your vocal chords.

Simplicity....The "First Stage" Guitar Book was first introduced in 1998, since that time it has been recently revised and updated with more information for the beginning guitar player. It now contains more pages and many more examples and the easiest chord fingering shapes of the most commonly played guitar chords in both open and barre form shapes for every type of music, rock n roll, blues, etc.

This is the only guitar book available today which contains the absolutely must have CHORD COMBINATION CHART which covers all the most commonly played guitar chords for each key. The CHORD COMBINATION CHART allows you to have first hand knowledge of which chords go with other chords in the same key....removing the guess work out. No need to have knowledge of music theory as the CHORD COMBINATION CHART has completed that for you.

You will be shown how to change any Major Chord into a Minor Chord, Minor Seventh Chord or Major Dominant Seventh Chord by just lifting a finger.

There are practice chord progressions galore. You will also learn how to easily enhance the sound of various chord shapes and learn how to read tablature (tabs) and understand how to play Power Chords, which is as simple as playing the 6th, 5th, or 4th strings of any Major Barre chord. Power Chords are referred to as 5th's.

The "First Stage" Guitar Book binding format allows this guitar book to remain flat for easy viewing of both the left and right side of each page.

Special Note: Both The "First Stage" Guitar Book and The "Guitar Book" red cover contain the same information. Here you have the choice of which cover you would prefer.
