Guitar Basics Reviews

Describing yourself as 'landmark', as this edition does, might seem presumptuous - but there is much to recommend this new book. It is full of effective graphics, songs and clapping games, jokes that work and well-known movie and rock tunes (some using tab); in short, it does everything to engage the young pupil.

Music Teacher, July 2010

Touted on the cover as a 'landmark method for individual and group learning' and aims to take young learners from absolute beginner to initial/preparatory grade for classical guitar. The book, which is attractively illustrated and moves with ease through the lessons, getting to grips with rhythm and then simple notation, building to the beginnings of repertoire, featuring original and selected tunes.
