EXCELLENT, A MUST HAVE FOR ALL GUITARISTS!!!.
This was the first book i looked at when searching for a book illustrating different guitar cords on a beginners level. However this was not the first book i chose for my daughter, although the first book was easily understandable and she had no problems with it i began searching for media which would help her.
I found this book was shown on every search i performed and eventually took as indepth a look as i possibly could. This item i personally found to be what i should have purchased from the beginning.
The illustrations are both large and clear leaving no margin for confusion and the text kept simple. Although this book states "First Stage" which it is simple enough to be i would also class it as an invaluable reference book for all guitarists and an invaluable aid for tutors.
Chris Lopez definitely got it right with this book, I just wish i had purchased this book first.... Well I've got it now and am following his recommendations for further books.
This is definitely one book i would recommend without hesitation.

Excellent!
An excellent reference for basic chords!

You can't go wrong with his books! They're straight and to the point, but easy enough for the beginners. I play seven different instruments, all self taught and the guitar is the hardest instrument that I have ever tried to master. This man's books have made that goal a lot easier. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on lessons, then just buy his books and practice, practice, practice! Did you know that most musicians out there are self taught? It's true and I'm living proof!!!
