Customer Reviews: Read 8 more reviews... Immediate gratification June 22, 2008G. Karlsrud (San Francisco, CA USA) My niece's guitar teacher strongly recommended this book/cd/dvd pack, so I bought it and have been very pleased with it. What I like is that, unlike some other books, it starts you out with simple chords and while progressing through more difficult chords it weaves in individual notes and reading sheet music. What helped me make initial progress was when I learned, in only a few sittings, the first 5 or 6 chords and began making simple melodies by putting them together. Five years ago I bought an acoustic guitar with every intention of learning how to play it, so I bought a different book/CD pack and got started. The focus was on learning each individual string one at a time (I could only play Beautiful Brown Eyes and Jingle Bells so many times) so I soon lost interest having only learned 3 strings and 3 frets and a couple of (now) annoying songs. Get the Progressive Rhythm Guitar book and enjoy playing much sooner. What makes a well rounded guitarist? November 4, 2007Luis del Valle (Tasmania, Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have been following the "Progressive" series of guitar method books since day one. I've managed to accumulate nearly all of them. All I have to say is one thing. If you are serious about being a well rounded guitarist and musician, without the complex, boring, and pointless music method books their are out there today, then you need to get these books, study them, practice the lessons, and most importantly, review, review, review; this is what will make you into the musician you need to be. Based on a rigorous practice regime, and following the series of Progressive books, you can become a complete guitar professional from novice level within 1-2 years, providing you use all the tools available to you; books, CD's, jamming, theory, playing in a band, etc. Remember, most guitarists haven't had formal lessons, they've learned off records, CD's etc. but with this series of books you have a tap into what the modern guitarist needs to learn, understand, and use as an accomplished guitarist/musician/songwriter. Get these books for your kids, students, yourself, even your grandmother. They are the best! Settle on this one. September 14, 2007Ger L (So.CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Although there are several instructional books on rhythm guitar (and I think I have all of them on my shelf!, this seems the most complete. One shouldn't expect highly sophisticated rhythms from any instructional book, but what is presented here is more than adequate for success. The full range of chords and ways to weave them into the backbeat is clear and easily understood. Of course, serious players will go beyond this eventually, but at that point, no appropriate instructional book will be necessary....or available. I highly recommend this book. Great book for New Guitar Players May 30, 2007M. C. Ruffin (New Orleans) I'm a bass player and I have never understood chords. With this book I was able to learn all the basic chords and a bunch of other chords (sevenths, sus's, barre chords, etc) in just a few weeks. A little musical knowledge helps, but its just not necessary. Trust me, If I can use this book, anyone can. I almost sound like I know what I'm doing! Very good May 22, 2007peacefrog (Sandy, Utah United States) I've gotten a fair collection of how-to guitar books. This is one of the best. The DVD is a nice mixture of short snippets to quickly show a technique, and longer "tunes" that require a bit of practice. And the book matches the DVD pretty well while filling out the lessons. | |||||||||||
