Alfred's Basic Guitar Method 1

It is a good beginner book if you dont have any background it gets you up and going teaching you notes right away.

Fantastic book to start learning how to play and read music. Very simple to use where you don’t need a teacher to help you thru the book. I started with this same book over 40 years ago and I just bought it again for a friend who is wanting to learn to play.

I bought this book for a friend. As I am giving her lessons. It is well written and easy for a beginner to understand.

I'm a little older and back when I first learned to play I learned from lessons books similar to this. Havent played in a long time and started playing and these are the best books by far. Youtube videos are good to but you need to know some theory and basics too and Alfreds books have just what you need to get started.

As described

My son is learning g to play the guitar. He takes private lessons but uses this book to further his knowledge and play more

The original edition(s) of this classic beginner's book date back to the 1960s. When I was 8 or 9 years old (1965-ish), my dad bought a beginner's guitar for me, along with this book. I was glad to see that the book is still around [in an updated edition], and I bought it as a future gift for my grandson... or someone else if he decides he doesn't want to learn the guitar.

Great guitar lesson book for beginners! I bought it for my son who just started lessons, but I've been using myself to practice and learn so I can keep him interested. Very easy to follow.

Ugly music, boring tunes they don't have to pay royalties for, not motivating at all, same ugly tunes for the complete method.

More contents should be added, but the book is very useful for beginners.

I have used the Alfreds books for teaching for many years & find they give more practise at each stage than many books do. They are easy to understand on the whole. This new version is in bigger print, which is good for older people, & has a few extra tunes added. The very useful Magic Chord Key change conversion accompanyment guide, previously on the back cover, is no longer there. This gave chord diagrams as well. The new book has lost the colour sections, which did help clarify illustrations a little.There is still no Tablature & a few miss prints in the old book are still in the new one. I still rate this series as one of the best I have used.

this book was suggested by my son guitar’s teacher and it helps my son to practise guitar as a beginner

Excellent product
