After trying for months to play electric guitar (I'm a lefty, and all the books and DVD's I purchased were for righty's), I finally found a learning resource for lefty's.

Wow what a nice low price for a just about new hard cover book......Thanks Amazon

If you're a beginner or you've been playing for a while and need a sense of direction with your guitar, then this is the book for you! I've had my guitar for just over a year, and I never wanted to take the book approach to learning guitar, how wrong was I?
Very wrong, I have quite a collection of instructional dvds, one for each aspect of guitar, theory, rhythm, etc. I'm figuring that with the majority of beginner guitarist, you have tons of information but no instrutions on how to use it and/or play it. This book opended the flood gates for me! Each section gives an indept explanation of what you're about to learn, and then you play it out over a live backing track with the instructor! This is really the key to understanding everything that you learn for the guitar such as progressions, fretboard and so on. After a couple of pages a years worth of shattered information came together, and I could understand tons of things i couldn't before. Get this book!

I'm a guitarist who likes to understand what's "under the hood" of guitar amps and do my own mods. This book is perfect for me, and I highly recommend it. The only distraction amongst the pages is the occasional (okay, more than occasional) error that should have been caught by a proofreader. There is one short chapter that is based on a schematic that is nowhere to be found in the book. As a longtime technical writer, I know that it is impossible to proof one's own work. Can't tell you how many times I've been caught red-faced over an elementary mistake. Don't let the sprinkling of these distractions deter you from buying the book. Gerald Weber knows his stuff and knows how to relate it to the novice. If you're a guitar player who is fussy about tone (don't know of one who isn't), this is a must read.

So many of my guitar students enjoy this book. Fun, recognizable songs in a clear, easy format!

I learned to play guitar through memorization of chords and patterns in the early 70s.  Got married and sold the guitars for furniture.  Sad story with a happy ending; I am back learning the correct way and have found the entire series to be incredibly helpful for someone without formal music training.  Fretboard Logic has opened up new ways for me to appreciate the talent of others as well as for my own enjoyment.

i have been studying blues guitar for the last 2 years now. i've a number of books on the subject. i've progressed reasonably working with them.

then i got this book. learnt a couple of songs. and my playing has simply jumped a notch!

yeah because i'm playing what i want to play - being a huge clapton fan (bluesbreakers, cream etc). plus clapton is playing in such ways i never encountered in the tutorial books. his chops are simpler but much more effective. but some of his runs are quite difficult - not the mere playing of the notes, but the effect created by such.

i'm never going to play what's in the tutorial books anywhere - but this is what i want to play and it is such great fun doing it.

i can't comment too much on the accuracy of the tab - it sounds ok - trying to figure out the notes with the actual solos is itself quite a job - i recorded all the solos of this album in triplicate on a tape to use them as a reference. but guess it will get easier as i progress.

it would be very helpful if you know atleast some basic blues - the 12 bar, the pentatonics etc. needless to say, as with all blues learning, one should focus on the tonic (1st), the dominant (4th) and sub-dominant (5th) notes and the way they are manipulated to create the blues effect.

if you want to play like clapton get this.

btw i wish somebody would publish similar tabs of the music of the great peter green - his album with mayall 'a hard road' and his early fleetwood mac material as well.

So far this has been a great book. My daughter and I are taking Guitar lessons together and the teacher told us about book one. I saw This book with all 3 in one so I sprang for it. It is full of lots of little songs that challenge the beginner. Learning the notes has really helped me a lot!! - I would buy it again and would recommend it to others.

This book is amazing. It's been a while since I have played, many many years.. This book is easy enough for me to play, still challenge me on some songs... And has chords on top for easy playing and also for guitar or other instruments! I highly recommend this book! My kids and I love it!

I'm really satisfied with this book.  I bought it because a friend told me it was easy to follow.  Turns out though that the book my friend had purchased was his other book, Fifty Easy Classical Guitar Solos.  I went ahead and ordered that one as well.

I finally have the sheet music for My Eyes. I can't believe that I didn't know this existed. Awesome book!

Okay, I've played the guitar off an on for the last 12 years or so, and have been the proud (and sometimes not-so-proud) owner of 20+ "How To" guitar manuals. To put it plainly, I wish "Metal Guitar Method" had been around when I started my guitar journey at age 13. It is a clear, concise, DETAILED manual of how to develop the technique necessary for playing metal guitar, starting with posture and hand positions and finishing with advanced, difficult songs that incorporate all of the skills taught in the individual lessons. This manual is ideal for beginners (or people who are a little bit out of practice like me!), but can be equally helpful for advanced players and teachers as well. The DVD and songs available on the website are SUPER HELPFUL!!! (I really like that I can access the songs from my smart phone and can basically practice them anywhere.) I took guitar lessons for 5 years, and I still feel inspired and challenged by this material. Definitely worth the price! I couldn't recommend this book enough, and will be on the lookout for more books by Matthias.

While I have a lot of guitar books and DVDs, I am continually learning some things from this book. Erich Andreas definitely teaches some great stuff here.

Kudos and thanks, Erich!

I bought this book recently..I own several solo/classic guitar playing books, including Noad's, and Shearer's previous books,which are also very good, but no other book I've seen spells out the mechanics of the fingers and body placement/positioning nearly as well as this one does. I plan on getting Part 2 soon, then possibly Part 3 as well. This book should obviously be used with beginning studies and a good teacher if possible.

Well since I bought it as A Gift, and had it sent directly to my Niece, I haven't seen a page of the book. I'm hoping that in addition to Tablature the book contains Chord diagrams that are easy to understand. I'm so glad that I was able to find a Taylor Swift songbook with no trouble because I was a little worried that the only thing availible for an 11 year old would be a book with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "London Bridge is Falling Down" nothing against those songs, but I would like to have her learn songs that she won't have to feel like she's stuck in Pre School Hell. One thing I can positively say is the book arrived before the child size Guitar I bought her. Who knows, If I had bought the Guitar from Amazon, it would've got there at the same time. But that was something I did not want to buy sight unseen. One song I know for sure that a beginner shouldn't have trouble with is Taylor's song "Fifteen" as I know it contains G D C and E minor. (Not nessesarily in that order)(UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ! ! ! May,11,2013) Well while the book contains the easy to read chord diagrams, They are only displayed once in the song. I personally feel for a beginner anyway, the chord diagrams should be in the music everytime there is a chord change. After all, for someone learning how to play chords, they are still learning how to put their brain on "Auto Pilot". I guess my griping doesn't matter, as my Niece complained that the steel strings hurt her fingers. I guess I should've got her a nylon string guitar. Maybe she'll grin and bare the pain a couple of years down the road.

I have several of Joseph's guitar books and they are all excellently written, clear and concise. In this one however, nearly every basic topic I need for my playing is covered in one place. Normally, separate books are required to cover theory and technique. With this compilation, it's all here, in more than enough detail.
