        Guitar for Dummies

        Alfreds Basic Guitar book 1 is a great book for beginner guitar. I trusted the Alfred name having purchased other Alfred books in the past. I suggest using a teacher, though at first if you are truly beginner as I was and had NO formal or musical training in the...

        Guitar Methods

        This book is perfect for a person who is learning to play the guitar. It tells you what string and what fret to use. On the inside back cover has a chart of assorted chords in all keys and modes (i.e. major, minor, seventh, etc.).

        Learn To Play Guitar
