I received my book in the mail yesterday in good order thank
you very much. I opened it up at the dinner table to the 1st
String, High E page and started to study a bit. Woke up this
morning thinking about the Note Identification Worksheet and
knowing where E F and G were at on the High E string and as
notes. Cool. Nice relaxed learning. This book looks like the
book I wish my guitar teacher had when I was taking lessons.
A great guitarist, worked professionally, but not a great
'teacher' for me. Thank you most kindly, I will most
definitely be using your book, it's clear and well written
so that even this older guy, law school graduate and all-
can understand it. My son at eight years old could read
music but I've had a deficient music education and my eyes
glaze over at a lot of the instructional material that is
out there. Take care and continued good luck. Now to go look
at that first video again. :-)

I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of music with
me. I ran across your YouTube videos watched a few then
purchased your book. Simply Brilliant!
I have been interested in the guitar since my father let me
play with his guitar as a young boy. Now 35, I can finally
appreciate the instrument (through your teachings) and let
my inner music out. I just finished page 14 (CD Track #2)
and I wanted to tell you that in all my years of education,
from grade school to college, I have never been more
inspired in such little time.
The fact that you have us (those who are using your
materials) playing along with background music as simple
as the sheet may be within the first day, allows for an
immediate return on our music investment. I know this
particular exercise is simple (E, F, and G), but how you put
it together with the CD
its just amazing! Well done.

At 32, I've taken guitar lessons with 4 different teachers
and used numerous other guitar lesson books. Each time, I
was disappointed and ended up quitting because I didn't feel
like I was following a logical progression of learning. The
teachers usually started each lesson by asking me what I
wanted to learn, so I ended up spending a lot of time and
money learning the chords to a handful of songs. This book
has completely changed my outlook on learning the guitar.
With the help of my guitar teacher, I'm starting to build
the fundamental skills to be able to figure out songs on my
own. The exercises are fun and challenging - I am actually
excited about practicing every day! I would recommend this
book to anyone just starting or wanting to improve their
guitar-playing.

This book provides a great balance of guitar training that
effectively improves one's knowledge of rhythm, the
fretboard, chords, and reading music. In addition, this book
really improves your guitar playing skills regardless of
which genre you prefer to play. It is one of the easiest
books out there to follow. It gets right into it.

It gave me a better understanding of the fret board and
different fingering positions and introduced me to new
strumming rhythms.
