This has to be the best guitar book you can buy. Everything you need to know is in this book. How to string a guitar, guitar care, guitar customization and more! Virtually everything is in this book. Whether you're a beginner who needs a guide on how to find different chords or an advanced player who needs help installing new pickups, this guide will help you. 5 stars and most definitely recommended!

Good DVD

This DVD is good for beginners. It gets you playing quickly. There is no music reading required, it has TABS only. Overall for a beginner this will get them playing fast but it lacks theory, so if that is something you want to learn don't buy this. I really liked this DVD and bought the intermediate and advanced DVDs also. I highly recommend this to any beginner

Great product for beginners!

I bought a Fender Strat and this video 8 weeks ago with no previous guitar experience. This video is a fantastic training tool. The exercises are well thought out and they really do improve you're playing on a daily basis. John is an excellent instructor and keeps things interesting. I work full-time so I try to get in an hour of practice a day. Buy this video and you'll be suprised with your progression in just a few weeks. I went back yesterday to buy the Intermediate and Advanced programs. Good luck and have fun.
