Sometimes, I have to watch 3-5 videos just to find a presenter that can simplify a concept to a beginner. I am making moderate but steady progress, and some techniques are still not within my grasp, but I what a great resource these books are. I own an acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, and it is satisfying to have such a reliable resource at my fingertips that breaks things down into simple digestible steps. ... show more
