Beginning Guitar

Learn to play the guitar with this painless, step-by-step method. In each lesson, you will learn the notes on a single string and learn two chords that can be used to accompany the exercises for that lesson. By the end of the book, you will have learned to read and play all the notes in the first position as well as all the basic open-string chords. You will also learn how to play and improvise the blues, and play arpeggiated chords as well. The author has been teaching guitar for more than 25 years and he has learned how to present the information in simple, succinct language, using helpful illustrations and exercises.
