    Helpful book to learn guitar

    I want to learn guitar and had very little knowledge of how to play. This book is definitely a good way to get started and I am finding it helpful.

    Not for Beginners

    The book arrived in good condition, though this was not written for beginner guitarists. Having just illustrated basic strumming pattens, they ask you to shape 4-finger chords, some with barre shapes. No beginner can do that. This book is geared more for the intermediate level user. The accompanying DVD is very outdated, with no GUI menu interface. It's structure is based on the DOS root system using Flash Video and is labor intensive in trying to locate a specific track. I gave up on it after attempting to search for 3 different tracks.
