  • Essential Guide for Aspiring Guitarists!
"The Best Electric Guitar Book for Beginners: 1 + 2" by Dan Spencer is an outstanding resource for anyone looking to dive into the world of electric guitar. This book is not just a guide; it’s a comprehensive roadmap that takes you from the basics to playing your favorite songs and solos in no time! Spencer’s approach is refreshingly straightforward and engaging. The clear instructions, combined with practical exercises, make learning both fun and effective. I particularly appreciated the way he breaks down complex techniques into manageable steps, making it easy for beginners to grasp the concepts without feeling overwhelmed. What sets this book apart is the emphasis on learning songs right away. It’s incredibly motivating to be able to play recognizable tunes early in the process, and the song selections are fantastic! Spencer also includes helpful tips on practice routines and essential equipment, making it an all-in-one resource. Whether you’re picking up the guitar for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this book is a must-have. It has reignited my passion for playing and has made my practice sessions much more enjoyable. I can’t recommend "The Best Electric Guitar Book for Beginners" highly enough—this is the perfect starting point for your musical journey! ... show more

  • Honest, Easy to Follow, Experienced, Comprehensive
Introduction explains how best to use the book and is upfront in stating that the fastest (and I think best) way to learn is to have face-to-face lessons with an instructor while using the guide as a supplement between sessions. Designed for beginners, the explanations are clear, the illustrations provide excellent demonstrations, and the descriptions are vivid. Intermediate players such as myself will still get plenty out of this book including easier chord transitions and music notation. This guide runs the whole gambit from equipment to resources to get you strumming in the right direction. ... show more

  • Guitar Picking
As a member of a musical family who never learned to play an instrument, I was very happy when my 14-year-old granddaughter decided to take guitar lessons and carry on the family tradition. It is the perfect hobby for young people to express themselves creatively. It reminds them that there are people outside the social media world and gives them a sense of accomplishment. This book is the perfect complement to lessons taught by an instructor. The book has page after page of instruction on chords, picking a pick, strumming, tuning the guitar and so on. The student can use it to practice what they previously learned or move ahead and try new material. Whether you become a rock star or only play for pleasure, this book will help you in that effort. ... show more

  • Made Learning Guitar Fun and Achievable!
I've always wanted to play electric guitar but felt overwhelmed by where to start. This book was exactly what I needed! Without the hassle of learning to read traditional music notation, I was able to dive right into playing my favorite songs. The video examples are super helpful—I could see and hear how it's supposed to be done, which made a big difference. The 30-day practice journal kept me motivated and on track, and the chord-changing tips were a game-changer for me (oops, but we're supposed to avoid that word). Now, I actually look forward to practicing every day. If you're a beginner like me, this book makes learning guitar enjoyable and accessible! ... show more

  • Electric guitar book
Great beginner book. Bought for my grandson for Christmas.

  • Good for beginners
This book is a great introduction to guitar playing. It covers all the basics in a clear way. The second part on playing your favorite song, was a little less so. It wasn't bad. Again, it was clear and it cover the basics. However, I was hoping for more. Overall, a good guitar book.

  • Can I Give it Six Stars?
This book has to be one of the most thorough electric guitar instructional publications available. I'm blown away by how well-organized it is and how much work must have gone into it. As a side note, although this instructional manual is best suited for electric guitar, an acoustic guitarist could learn a lot from it too... especially if they intend to try electric guitar someday. ... show more

  • Awesome book to learn guitar
This book breaks down learning to play the guitar into easy, bite sized chunks. It's geared towards complete beginners, and by the time you finish it, you'll be able to play loads of songs, know a bunch of chords, and understand some music theory so you can start making up your own tunes.
