The guitar is one of the most versatile of musical instruments, and can be used to play a huge variety of musical styles, such as folk, country, blues, rock, pop, jazz, classical, and even flamenco. Learning to play it can be complicated, but it neednt be, as THE BEGINNERS GUIDETO PLAYING GUITAR so expertly shows.In the experienced teaching hands of Douglas J. Noble, players who havent touched a guitar before, nor have any prior musical knowledge, can easily learn the basics. All the musical examples included here have been written to be played by a total neophyte, with easytounderstand notation and straightforward timing.Chapters include: Getting Started Guitar Music Notation Major and Seventh Chords Minor Chords and Seventh Chords Minor Chords and Ear Training The Twelve Bar Blues Classical Guitar Completing the Open String Chords Barre Chords Music Theory The Blues Scale Jazz Discography GlossaryThough the book does contain some actual songs, it concentrates on material written specifically to improve a certain aspect of playing. Readers will work progressively through a variety of stylesfrom classical to rock, blues to jazzwith the end in mind that each style influences the other.Advocating a practice routine of ten to fifteen minutes a day, Noble stresses a basic, nononsense approach that will have even the tonedeaf strumming away in days.

I found this book super accessible as someone who's never played before. The layout is straightforward and it's packed with useful tips. I've enjoyed my journey into guitar playing thanks to this guide!

Missing Some Key Information
I was a bit disappointed with this guide. While it's great for absolute beginners, I felt it could use more insights on practice routines. Also, the illustrations could be improved. Not the worst, but I expected more for the price.

Great Starter Guide for New Guitarists
I picked this up for my son, who's just starting out with the guitar. The A to Z format makes it easy to follow, and he loves the clear explanations. It's definitely a solid choice for first-time musicians!

Helpful but Lacks Depth
This guide is decent for beginners but I was hoping for more detail in some areas. It covers the basics well, but advanced techniques are pretty much skipped over. Good for getting started, but don't expect to master the guitar with this alone.
