I keep looking for the
I keep looking for the perfect guitar method book. Haven’t found it yet but I keep coming back to this one. Good songs, interweaves chords and learning to play melodies and it has three books to take students into more advanced learning.

Searching for the Best Guitar Lesson Plan
I have purchased two online courses and at least five print manuals to help with my quest to learn to play my string instruments. Each provided some of what I needed to advance my journey but none came close to providing all of the tools I needed with the exception of the Essential Elements Series. I am now playing, I must emphasize playing, not stumbling and poking with pleasure. I have a long way to go but I now have confidence that I will succeed.
