Summary: It is The One
Review: Bought this book 10 years ago and it proved to be the best guitar book for any blues or rock interested newbie. Wonderfully written in style, approach, even the fonts and graphics. Not a huge book, but it has the essence...and teaches it very, very effectively.Alas, lost my copy after loaning to my son (who learned even quicker BTW and quickly passed me), especially as my time to play diminished. Recently I wanted to reteach myself, and sought out this book...was aghast! at the fact that it is out of print...Luckily, got one of the last new ones (thru amazon). Just as good now as it was then...possibly better as I have seen in the intervening years how few 'teaching' books attain this level. I shall cherish it for it's own value, and the memories, forever. Net: Highly, highly, highly recommended....a great achievement by the author worthy of note on his tombstone some day...

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I bought this book over 12 years ago after growing frustrated with what my local guitar instructors were teaching me. For the price of one weekly guitar lesson I got this great book that opened up many doors. I never took another personal guitar lesson again. I gained so much from this book that I felt compelled to write this review all these years later since it has been just that important to me. This book is an outstanding beginner-to-intermediate learning system. The fundamentals are clearly described and everything is very easy to understand. This book can easily take an absolute beginner and help them get really good much faster than any other book I have ever seen. The book aims to get you familiar with your guitar and able to play up and down the neck using runs taken from the Pentatonic scale which is the backbone of Rock guitar. This book will help you get past the beginner level and very solidly into the intermediate playing level and does so in the clearest and easiest way. This is THE must-have book if you want to learn to play guitar in the most efficient manner. This book provides a very solid foundation to build your advanced musical skills onto. I highly recommend it!

Summary: The Heavy Guitar Bible
Review: I have been playing guitar for about 15 years and I have never found a guitar instruction guide that is as good as this one. It takes the beginer/intermediate player to the next level. The way that Daniels explains the material is simple and to the point. You don't have to be a math wiz or music major to understand this book. If more writers wrote in this style, the guitar would be a much easier instrument.

Summary: the holy bible of guitar
Review: i picked this book up almost 20 yrs ago that's hard to believe, and i'm living proof this book really works if you apply yourself to it (...). this is for those folks who don't really care about the theory thing or learning songs per say or reading music. but it is very geared to the person who wants to learn to play the guitar by feel, very easy to understand anyone can sit down with this book and learn the lessons, you WILL get out of this book exactly what you put into it and that's a promise i can say. very well written easy to understand terms for the beginer as well as the professional guitarist. i find myself constantley refering back to it just to freshen my skills. if you really want to learn this is the holy bible for the guitarist

Summary: Great place to start or continue with,
Review: This book is over 20 years old but has more information than a good deal of guitar teachers know. It explains many things for the guitar extremely well. You can not go wrong with this book; especially if you are learning electric guitar.

Summary: The Best Beginer "Rock Guitar" Book
Review: This easy to read, well thought out guidebook to electric guitar playing is a true revelation to the begining guitarist.
The author organizes his lesson plan perfectly, showing how the primary major and minor scales are layed out on the guitar fretboard. Not only will you get the usual "here they are" dot matrix diagrams, you are also presented with a unique way to visualize and dissect these scales that allows for quicker memory uptake when it comes to key transposition. In other words, the author's insights on guitar fretboard logic are well worth the price.
Added info on attaining and sustaining technique, tone, and style while playing the modern electric guitar and amplifier makes this a must read for anyone having a love affair with their axe.
