Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe music guides in the popular "For Dummies" series all follow the same basic format, which includes much of the same information found in the other self-instruction resources reviewed here, but in more detailgetting started with the instrument, chords and melodies, playing technique, stylistic characteristics, and choosing instruments. Unlike most of the other series, the details of some techniques, such as fingerpicking, are covered in the chapters on style instead of getting chapters or sections of their own. These volumes also don't cover reading music, though scored examples are included: players who don't read are advised to pick up chords and melodies by ear from the accompanying CD. Best for teens and adults with some musical background, not necessarily with the guitar. Forthcoming titles include Classical Guitar For Dummies (Jul. 2009; ISBN 978-0-470-46470-0) and Guitar All-in-One For Dummies (Aug. 2009; ISBN 978-0-470-48133-2), a 720-page reference that compiles information from eight books in the series.

  • Guitar for Beginners

    Very good for someone like myself that can't read music and needs to start from the beginning. I am only through the first 5 chapters but there is a lot there to absorb when you are starting out. They use a nice teaching format in how they lay the book out.

  • Get guitar for dummies first!

    I bought this before I bought the Guitar For Dummies book, thinking that I could learn a lot from it as a beginning guitar player. I found it to be too advanced without first reading Guitar For Dummies. I would suggest getting that book first, if you are an absolute beginner like I was! You won’t regret it!

    I never seemed to see that the materials were what I wanted. They do cover the guitar in detail but did not inspire me.

    I did not like the fact that it took forever for the actually shipping to occur when the label was made so promptly. The tracking was just all over the place.
