  • Great Book for ALL!
This book, 'Guitar: The First 100 Chords for Guitar: How to Learn and Play Guitar Chords' is simply one of the best around! It has helped me tremendously in quite a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend this book to any beginners or even seasoned players who want to expand their knowledge of chords or relearn some overlooked skills. The pictures in this book are so helpful since they provide a visual step by step guide to the actual guitar frets and strings- It really could not get any more straight forward. Overall this is just a great book that has personally improved my skills quickly. ... show more

  • A foolproof method for learning chords, practicing changes and building rhythm on guitar
I picked up the guitar, along with Joseph Alexander's Beginner's Guess Lessons, a couple of months ago. Having taken a long hiatus from playing, except for a few failed and frustrating attempts to rush into all the material I knew ten or more years ago, I was thrilled with the author's teaching style and the quick progress I made. The First 100 Chords for Guitar is a fine extension for continuing my practice. The material in the first two chapters is similar to what is covered in Beginner's Guitar Lessons. Likewise, the practice routine and strumming patterns given are also much the same. That's what makes this title a success. With each new chord, Mr. Alexander takes the student through a routine to first build muscle memory for the fingering and then quickly places it in context by practicing chord changes and progressions. By the end of the first chapter alone, a student has the tools to play the rhythm to a huge number of songs, especially in the keys of A, C and G major, as well as E and A minor. More importantly, this book doesn't just give chord shapes and exercises before rushing on to more chord shapes and exercises. Mr. Alexander, as in Beginner's Guitar Lessons, urges patience and mastery. His teaching and practice methods don't merely show the student new chords, but aim to drill the muscles until playing that chord feels as natural as tapping your foot to the beat of your favorite song. He also provides a sensible plan for building speed with strumming chord changes and plenty of example chord progressions for practice. A few notes: 1. Don't expect to rush through the lessons. Following the routine correctly, it will take about 20 minutes, give or take, to work through the first two chords properly. But, done properly, those two chords will be completely ingrained in your muscles memory. 2. A metronome is a must for keeping time, as the practice routine speeds you along from single strums at a slow tempo to playing quarter and eighth note rhythms. Lots of apps for this; pick one, learn how it works and use it religiously. 3. If you follow the methods given by the author, you're playing will improve. 4. As with Beginner's Guitar Lessons, the one glaring omission is a section on tuning (at least in the Kindle version - I can't speak for the print version.) A properly fingered chord on an out of tune guitar sounds like a duck fight, so get a tuner (again, lots of apps for this) and tune your instrument before each practice session. Maybe I'm a harsh critic, but this is too important to leave out of a book geared toward beginners, and is the only thing holding me back from giving a five star rating. ... show more
