Guitar All-in-One For Dummies: Book + Online Video and Audio Instruction

Super helpful in explaining guitar basics at a level everyone can understand. This isn't necessarily a book for music, but great for learning the basics.

This book, like all of the "For Dummies" books, is easy to read, and is organized in a manner that allows you to either start from the first page and work your way through the book, or go directly to the material you need. It should be a part of every guitar student's library.

It is informative however I cannot comment any further due to not having guitar trainer

This is a great resource that collects and updates the prior 8-in-1 edition of the Dummies‘ guitar books. Highly recommended. Couple of notes:1. This edition omits the chapters on song-writing. If that sort of thing is important to you, I’d buy the prior edition. Also, paper quality and print quality has gone down, drastically.2. The new edition contains a new chapter on fretboard learning. I think it’s terrific.3. the current and prior editions do not give you several dummies books in one. Instead, you get compiled excerpts from those books‘ opening chapters. E.g. the blues guitar for dummies book is excerpted here but only contains the first 80-100 pages—for the rest you have to buy the full Blues Guitar for Dummies book.So, if you’re a beginner unsure which direction to take your guitar playing, this book is solid gold and great value.But if you already know that your main interests are with just one of classical/rock/Blues/jazz guitar, I’d skip this and buy a Dummies book dedicated to just that.

Really easy to get through and very informative for the beginner student. A lot of extra items on line as well!

A good book for a beginner guitar player.

I have 8 music books right now, this one has been the easiest and most helpful, mainly because you have music notation examples coupled with the tablature, and the audio tracks to play along with the examples. And it starts for begiiners all the way to mote advanced. Excellent book.

I haven't had much chance to really get into the book yet, but the first thing I noticed was the photos are very poor quality. The photo of the electric guitar is so dark, the guitar can hardly be seen. The rest are hard to make out and unclear.I expect more from a company that prints so many volumes of books.The book overall, seems like it will be very useful and informative.

I've bought 3 books from the most known publishers on thebsubject and this is the 4th. The other 3 are good, focusing on different subjects, exercises, etc. On average they are short 70 to100 pages. But any of them is complete and to advance you have to buy new books to complete your studies.This is the most comprehensive one. It has theory, history of music, context, exercises, from beginner to advanced, caged system, blues and rock licks. It's not marketing it really is 7 books in 1,with 610 pages.Very happy with the book.

Brought this for my dad who's decided in his retirement to learn a new skill, hopefully this book lets me keep my ear drums intact. Bonus that the text is big enough for him to read!

Interesting read and quick delivery. Similarly to the piano & Keyboard All-In-One it's a shame that the pictures, music sheet and the chords are too smallto read and the print could be a bit bigger too, perhaps adjusting the layout slightly so it does not extand the number of pages.

I got it for my guitar-playing 13 year old granddaughter and she is delighted, mostly because it covers all grades of ability.

pretty much all in here. chord charts theory, etc
