Reviews

★★★★★ – Stephen Brownlow

"This is the course that helped me to start gaining confidence with a guitar. Previously, it was all too hit and miss, too confusing." – Stephen Brownlow

★★★★★ – Guitar Guy, Amazon

"I am a full-time private guitar instructor who has also played in bands for over 40 years. In all that time I've never known any bandmates (besides me) that could read standard music notation. I found it really frustrating that every beginner book I could find insisted students learn to read music. To the point I was over 20 pages into writing my own book, when I came across the Beginner Guitar. Problem solved! Besides showing lessons in standard notation (which I partially ignore), it shows notes in standard guitar TAB (tablature), and chords using standard chord diagrams. This is how actual guitar players read music 99% of the time.

This course also avoids the problem of making students learn bad music cooked up by the author to get around copyright problems. Instead it teaches familiar favorites that are old and traditional enough there is no copyright issue. There is nothing more de-motivating than having to learn lousy non-songs with names like B-string boogie etc.

The course is laid out logically and each lesson teaches just enough new stuff to keep students motivated and moving forward. After a lesson or two I supplement the course with chords for songs that the student brings in - songs they like enough that they'll practice them, and songs they can hear in their head without having to go look them up.

Everything is clearly laid out with multiple ways to learn - for instance, new chords are shown as diagrams, as well as with videos and photos of the chord being played properly.

I've used this course for about eight years and I give it five stars both for teachers and beginning students!"
