  • March 02, 2012 Mel Bay's Guitar Method 1

    Purchased this at the request of my instructor. Used to learn both the open position notes and to gain an initial understanding of reading standard notation music. Specifically sought this out because of the CD/DVD combination. I started using this with a teen age relative for teaching also. The...

    videos can be improved upon, as they don't really reach past an adult audience into the teenager. However, the book and material is an indispensible resource that I still use today, as I work with both Classical composers and modern rock artists. Therein lies the secret of this book; the scope of the material is timeless and appropriate no matter the age of the user. I would recommend this to anyone seeking to learn the guitar past tablature and into the area of standard notation. It has opened doors for me that I didn't know existed.

  • February 14, 2012 Gets you reading from day 1

    I really like this book! Unlike the "Dan Denley 6-minute guitar" 24 dvd set I bought last year, which teaches you fundamentals (which are great to learn, but don't motivate you to progress), this book gets you reading notes from day one. I don't care much for...

    the DVD with this set, the videos look like they were recorded in the 70's and they move too fast for me to keep up. The book, however is easy for anyone to follow. It starts you at playing a few whole notes on a single string, to a few more quarter notes on the next string, to a few more eigth notes on the next string, and so on. This is great for the beginner.
