5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the biz, 27 Oct 2004
I just have to say Terry Burrows is a genius. This is just a wonderful informative book on how to play the Electric guitar. I always wanted to play an axe and jumped straight in learning riffs and reading tabs and basically except for a couple of party pieces I was going nowhere and knew very little about the guitar. But this book has changed everything for me. The CD is great also. After the first week you are playing a little two chord riff to the CD which has a whole band sound, Bass drums etc. This is a great book for learning electric guitar. I am 41 now and always wanted to learn to play, being a want to be rocker my whole life and now because of this book I am building a solid foundation and who knows someday I might just get there.
Order this book now....

5.0 out of 5 stars Blinding, 26 Mar 2002
i'd have to say that this book changed my guitar playing instantly. i started off using tabs and was getting on fine but wasn't going anywhere. before buying this book i knew no chords and by week 3 i now know 8 so to sum up this book in one word

Blinding

a must buy for any beginner

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect beginners package!, 6 Dec 2000
What a great book! Very good for a beginner like me! I'm impressed with the thought that has gone into making this book - i.e. it is ring-bound so it just sits open at the right page. The pages are clearly laid out and very easy to work from. You get a cd, fret stickers, wall chart and even a nice thin plectrum - the full kit (except a guitar of course)!

I've been working from the book for a few days now and i'm already making progress. Go and get yourself a beginners guitar, an amp, this book and get started!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good, well structured book
I started out playing the electric guitar from tab music only, and progressing alright, but only up to a point because I had no structure for the learning. Read more
