Best of breed for beginners
I bought about 8 beginning rock guitar books from Amazon, and this is the best.

Several books include CDs, but this one got it right. Plays a lick for you, then gives backing for you to play it. Short and to the point, makes it easy to move from one lesson to the next.

Licks are great, the kind of sound that I like anyway- and leaves me quite impressed with my own progress. Took me about one month from start to finish, and I was really amazed how much I improved.

Author is obviously a skilled teacher, who writes to help students, not to show off.

Book only includes a touch of theory, focuses on learning fun stuff. Still I think to develop further I need additional help on understanding theory. He does introduce pentatonic scales, but doesn't explain much behind them or how to apply them. But that probably would have made the book too boring.

Highly recommended for beginners!

Fast Forward Licks
When your learning, although everybodys different you want to learn the easier way, always.

Thats where these Fast Forward book/cd comes into it, they show and play what you need to know and to the point. With 99 tracks on the CD you have plenty to hone your skills from a beginner to an intermediate stage.

Its almost impossible to learn from this amount of tracks with the different variations and not be able to come up with little solo of your own! There is a good little number towards the end that you learn which will be enough to raise your confidence.

At the end of the day you want to improve and this helps tenfold.

Enjoy.
