After having learned the keyboard using "The Complete Keyboard Player" it seemed like the natural choice to choose "The Complete Guitar Player" when I decided to learn the guitar. Before I bought this book I bought "The First Stage Guitar Book" which I was severly unimpressed by because all it seemed to consist of was pages and pages of chord charts and was far too advanced for me. Therefore, when I received my copy of "The Complete Guitar Player" I was relieved to see the familiar mix of instruction to build up technique and skills, and then songs to practice on. The book assumes absolutely no knowledge at the beginning, but as you work through to the end it becomes a lot more sophisticated and should keep me going for quite some time. So I would recommend this book if you are an absolute beginner and want to spend your money on a book that is actually helpful and fun.

This book is a comprehensive course. As you progress through the first fewpages you're taught, not only chords but different strumming techniques,how to use a flat pick, different time signatures and other guitar basics.Within minutes of picking up the book you will be able to play Mull ofKintyre. Progress is quick, so motivates further learning. You do NOT haveto be able to read music, the diagrams are very easy to follow. There arealso instructions on how to play the MELODY of some of the songs.
The CD version has the advantage that you can hear how you're supposed tosound, then work towards that. Without the CD the timing could be slightlyout.
I would strongly recommend this course, the only down-side being theblisters on the fingertips of your left hand :o)

I teach guitar and i now use the Complete Guitar Player Book series as a part of all my beginners' courses.
The main problem you have teaching people the guitar is that they want to learn whole songs, and teaching them the whole song isnt always going to be best for them.
This book has the chords and lyrics for every song complete in it - and beginners love that.
On top of that it has lots of classic songs in there and loads of differant playing styles. The beginner doesnt have to read music but can learn if they want.
A wonderful book!!

Beginners only
I agree, to some extent, with "Enzo". This is a good book for absolute beginners but it's let down by the fact that there is little "understanding" to be gleaned from the text. Read more
