Rating: - Accessible and encouraging with a down-to-earth approach
When my teenage son and I started playing the guitar I bought several 'teach yourself' books, and this is by far the best we found. It takes a refreshing, real-world approach to learning, offering plenty of encouragement (to keep you going through those early weeks of sore fingers) in the form of easy music and songs that you will be able to play from the very start.

Rating: - Strumming away after only two weeks
I was an absolute beginner when I got the guitar and the book. After only two weeks of vigorous practising I am strumming away nicely. Very easy to follow book and great to play along with the CD. All you have to do is practise, practise, practise.... (and it is true about the calluses on your fingertips). All I now need is a good beginners chord songbook!

Rating: - Get a lesson!
I bought this for my son who wanted to learn. What a waste pay for a few lessons with a teacher quite cheap for kids. Used for a couple of days then discarded. Anyone who has been playing more than a month will find this a waste of money.

Rating: - Brilliant for beginners
This takes you from absolute beginner to the point where you are sounding pretty competent in a nicely structured A -> B -> C fashion. It starts off with basic stuff like the most common open chords and how to play simple melodies using tab then goes on to the more difficult stuff like barre chords and techniques like string bends in a solo. The final part of the book deals with techniques related to specific genres - rock, blues, folk, jazz etc.

I've looked at a few how to play guitar ... Read More
