However, if you are a beginner just playing guitar causally for fun (which is what I’m doing), this book provides a good starting point to learn to play songs that are within your abilities. It’s something small that should be noted.Īnyways, if you are learning guitar seriously (because you want to become good at it) time is probably better spent practicing techniques.

For example you learn the B7 chord in stage 4 but none of the songs in stage 4 contain B7. However, something to note is that in each stage, the songs included are songs that you should be able to play at the stage, not songs that necessarily help you practice the skills you learned in that stage. The book features 10 songs for each stage of the Beginners Course, building up from easy three-chord songs to more advanced tunes. I like how for each song there are little notes on how to make it more complex or information about strumming pattern and tips. When looking at the book by itself, the book is probably a 4 star book. You honestly don’t need to buy this book because you can get all the lessons online for free. Compact (17cm x 24.I think Justin’s Lessons are great. Tuition notes for each song by Justin advising you on strumming patterns and chord changes, with diagrams to illustrate all the chord shapes you need.
