DESCRIPTION:
Linda Bergstrom said husband now a better guitar player. My husband had someone suggest this book and it has proved to be as helpful as he was told it would be. I love being able to purchase from Amazon because I live in a small town and I have limited access to a lot of things. With Amazon everything is just a click away. With Amazon prime shipping is free and speedy.. Michael Z. Williamson said Caution! Classical only!. Be advised this book only covers classical and flamenco playing. It is of much less use for acoustic steel string or electric players.Nevertheless, one can't properly play any guitar without a basic study of the classical. This book is complete--it covers construction styles to look for, proper woods and finishes for good tone, judging the condition of a used instrument, and basic hold and technique (that so many "rock" players abandon for the sake of slinging an axe low and looking cool, while damaging their wrists and hindering their playing).I agree with other reviewers. "Great guide" according to ambuster. I love this book. Second time ordering. I somehow lost my first book and had to order this one again. Very informative. I've taken several guitar lessons years ago and since then have played on my own and love to reference back to this book.
