I bought this on the chance that it would provide the correct information that I could use to ground myself in the basics before going to the trouble and expense of an actual teacher. If fills that purpose admirably. The work starts off as basic as possible; and progresses at a logical rate. This also means that a beginner cant sit down and zip through many pages of easy stuff and master a lot that is worthwhile. The author expects the student to take weeks to practice the fundamentals; and if the student does; it is a real achievement. The level of difficulty is appropriate if one strictly follows the authors lead. If the student takes this to heart and applies the effort; it is worth it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The Best in Its KindBy ThantIf are a begginer and have failed with many toher books; this is the last book your should need. With this book you can work on your own or find an instructor to get you going. Bruce doesnt teach you how to play songs; he teaches you rhythm patterns and strive to groove your rhythm.My chord shifting/holding and rhythm has improved a lot (of course I should have made more efforts). Do your part (practising regularly) and youll find yourself you can be a guitarist. The rhythms on CD are so beautiful and the quality is excellent. One thing Bruce could have done was helping with "counting" (such as 1 e da; etc.) and play the examples in slower tempos. I also have his "Ryhthm Guitar" (the Complete Guide).On the side note; Bruce Buckingham could be the best rhythm guitar player on earth.
