Very Complete book for beginning guitar. Includes DVD and software that allows you to play either the chords or lead portion of many of the songs and mute the other part depending on which part you are working on. Video portions good also. Easy to download to PC/MAC or IPAD. Not a "Picking and Grinning" book with just words and chords; it starts out teaching you how to play simple melodies and every aspect of reading music. You learn some notes and get the fretting hand in shape before trying to make difficult chords. Songs included from mostly folk and classical genres are selected really well to teach the technique of each lesson. Works well for self study or would be good for a teacher to use. DOES NOT have any TAB! If you want to start with TAB AND Staff, then get Alfred's "DIY Guitar" book. Designed for the student who really wants to learn music. I have looked at the other popular Method books and this one seems to be the best.
