5.0 out of 5 stars EVERY budding guitarist should read this book., 17 Dec 2000
If David Mead isn't your best mate you'll feel like he is by the time you've read this. You quickly get the impression that if there's anything this guy doesn't know about the guitar it isn't worth knowing. Even so, he's obviously done enough teaching to realise that what we most probably want is to bypass all the 'interesting but not particularly useful stuff', for the time being at least, and get straight down to playing the beast. His stated objective with the book is to tell you what you need to know (nothing more) in the order that you need to know it and that's just what he does.

The book starts with some information that will be useful if you haven't yet bought all of you're equipment. If you do already have your gear you'll either find yourself breathing a sigh of relief because you happened to get it right or kicking yourself because you didn't read this before you went shopping. After that comes a series of chapters in which Mr Mead explains things like which chords are worth learning and how you can 'cheat' with the others and suggests an order in which to learn them so that you build up your dexterity as you go*. The last part of the book, the workout itself, and where I'm currently at, is a series of exercises that are designed to improve your playing by developing your dexterity and your 'musical ear'.

Whether you're thinking of buying a guitar or whether you already have one: buy this book. I mean how can you go wrong with an author who emphasises his confidence in a point that he's making by saying that if you prove him wrong he'll buy you a pint next time you see him?

* Here's an excellent example of the kind of things this book reveals: A guitarist friend once showed me a neat 'trick' where he fretted three strings at once using just the third finger of his left hand. This allowed him to play the A chord shape as a barre chord. I tried it but couldn't do it because the last knuckle on my 3rd finger wouldn't bend like that. What my friend didn't point out to me, but which Mr Mead's book does, is that this is kind of like a Yoga thing i.e. you probably won't be able to do it at first but practice will increase your flexibility until you can. The whole book is stuffed with things like this i.e. things you wish you'd been told earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Straight to the point, but leaves you wanting more info., 18 Sep 2001
By A Customer
The best thing about this book is the way the content is delivered to the reader. The style is informal, but very effective at getting the points across. For beginners it's probably very easy to understand, and for those of us with shelves full of other guitar books it appears to look at topics from a slightly different point of view.

You find yourself reading on a topic you sort of understand only to find it wasn't half as complicated as you first thought. This fresh perspective brought a lot of stuff together for me, and filled in a few holes.

I've only just started the workout, so I can't comment on that yet. But it looks promising.

My only criticism - the author stops a bit short on some topics and leaves you wanting more information - but maybe that's for another book, so long as it's by the same author.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tool to help you progress, 13 May 2004
By Seb (London) - See all my reviews
This book is usable by any guitarist from beginner to advanced. The beginning section deals with some of the basics of chords and scales and is great as a reference point if you are already familiar with this sort of stuff. From a beginner's perspective it has all you need to get you rocking! The workout exercises although not that hard, do exactly what they are supposed to, get your speed, accuracy and endurance up in minimal time. If you are a serious player though you may want to supplement this with your own routine. Also included in this book are useful tips and tricks which we can all use, as there is nothing wrong with going back to basics every so often, regardless of your level.
