Good place to start for beginners in guitar! Update to review.....my cd was missing, just got started reading the book, didn’t think I would need the cd but already on page 3 it says “listen to the cd” & lists several reason why listening to the cd is really important. Hopefully I can master without the cd or maybe find the cd on You Tube.

The book is about an inch thick and it's a lot of reading of stuff. So far I m not getting what I thought I would. I should be getting back to playing by now.
