Summary: Beware which version you buy
Review: Be careful which version of this book you buy. There is an easy guitar version and a piano - vocal - guitar version and at least one other version. They are not all the same and have different ISBN's. Know what it is you really want.

Summary: Beware which version you buy
Review: Strogly recommended for the beginning guitarist, elementary school teacher, camp counselor who want to include music in a group setting. For the aspiring guitarist, the text includes diagrams of the nine strum or pick patterns that can be used with the songs. Each title in the book has a suggested pick/strum pattern. Other easy guitar books sometimes include this feature. I found these patterns to be very helpful as a self-teching method. The songs are well known popular children's songs that are familiar to everyone and can be used in any recreational/ educational seting with children. I liked the book in so far as it helpled me practice guitar skills that I am acquiring (the chords are basic to easy guitar) and provided me material to use in my work setting.
