Review: Great book, need to go through others first. - This book is amazing for learning acoustic guitar. It will make more sense if you go through books 1 and 2 which makes sense. This book does teach you part of the key system and how some of these keys work in the same way as other keys. There is also some amazing songs that you can learn from this. Great book but recommend going through books 1 and 2 first. Review: good book - I teach guitar part time. You'll need to learn book 1 and 2 first. The reason being it takes time to learn to read and to develop your muscle memory in your hands. Starting from scratch it can take 2 to 3 years to get through books 1 to 3. If you have experience and can already play chords it can take less than one year to get through all the books. The books are well done. If you have the determination to finish out the books you'll have a solid foundation to move into an advanced style of your liking. A good instructor will help you properly play your guitar. Teach you the rules and all the little things that come with learning a guitar that a book can't show. Also keep in mind a more expensive instructor will not help you play better as its up to you to develop your muscle memory.
