An excellent book series. This book covers reading music (notes and rhythms) to playing chords, picking with standard and TAB notation. Books 1-3 have it all. The repertoire is also excellent (as are the CDs.)

Great book. Books 1 and 2 were great. I wasn't so impressed with book 3.

(Guitar Method). Southpaws rejoice! This world-famous method is now available in a special edition just for lefties, with customized photos and diagrams. Students enjoy the method's easy-to-follow format that gives them a solid music education while letting them play songs right away. Book 1 provides beginning instruction, covering tuning; 1st-position melody playing; C, G, G7, D7 and Em chords; rhythms through eighth notes; solos and ensembles; and strumming. Features a chord chart, and show more traditional songs like: Amazing Grace * Greensleeves * and When the Saints Go Marching In. show less

This step by step book is easy to follows to a certain point, the basic. More complex thing,s at least for me, was hard to follow by myself. I'll continue to work with it.
