Guitar Chords For Beginners: A 14-Day Program to Master Chord Shifts, Strumming and Longer Progression to Nail Your Favorite Songs.

Good.

This book is great.I could only strum chords very slowly until I got this.It took me 4 weeks to get through this with some great advice and slowly bit by bit opens doors.Everything is easy to understand and as long as you practice you will learn a lot.I am now a lot more confident with my playing .

Not what I expected. Looks like a good book, bit far too 'wordy' for what I needed

Husband has been teaching himself a bit on the guitar so bought him this book to help him along. It seems to be a good introduction to chords and can be worked through a little each day.

I have been teaching my daughter a few bits and pieces on the guitar and wanted something to work through some chords, rhythm patterns and to really get her playing.This book is really simple.It is not songs. It is chords and rhythms which give all of to be tools to get playing - and in just a few days.The important bit is not to skip ahead and to actually read the text too as nothing in this book is pointless.I have taught music for years.This is the best that I have seen to get someone playing quickly and simply.Love it.

so far the best of it's kind.

Well written and easy to follow, so just what I needed. You do need put the time in daily, to make the 14 day title work. Like all things, you get out what you put in. After you learn your chords, do the extra section, you won't be disappointed. Barre chords next......

Just what I needed

This book is great. Here is the history of my journey. Knowing zero about playing the guitar, I started with a book that is supposed to be for beginners but it is way over my head. Then I signed up for a group class and bought the book used by the instructor and it was aimed at middle school kids - it teaches them about reading music, beats, etc. in great detail. It was okay but not inspiring and I already know how to read music. Next I bought the little chord book and that is handy but doesn't teach you how to play. It's a reference.Now that I've made all of those mistakes, I wised up and hired a professional guitarist with a lot of patience for adult learners. The right teacher is definitely worth the cost, but if you can't do that, this book is the next best thing. Along with those lessons, I FINALLY bought the correct book, this one, to remind me of everything that the guitar teacher tells me to do. This book is meant for adults, shows fret fingering AND TABS (the other books do not and I didn't even know what that is until now) shows how to use the pick correctly and what different picks will do, and teaches you how to STRUM correctly. If the other books explained the strumming symbols and how to actually strum correctly, I missed it. It is very clear in this book.It's interesting how the author shows how to play different chords and chord progressions and then lists many songs that use those progressions. He also reminds you to practice, tells you when pain in either arm or hand is a sign of how you are holding them and why sometimes you need to just put down the guitar if you are feeling pain.If you are an adult that is "stuck" trying to learn the guitar and drowning in a sea of YouTube videos that swear they are the road to success, I recommend that you ditch it all and check out this book and start again, from the beginning.I purchased the Kindle Edition and I can display it on the large screen on my PC or laptop when I am practicing. I can make the page as large or small as necessary. It's very convenient. If you are an adult just starting to learn to play guitar, I highly recommend this book.

I got all of the books made by guitar head, for one simple reason, clear in images, black/white, clear in explanation, trustworth and eperienced method.

I learned many chords from this book among other things, such as strumming patterns; then bought an easy song book that listed all the chords in the song with suggested strumming patterns,and now I am actually playing songs. I have gotten better and faster each time I practice. Just don't give up, keep at it. It comes with time.

Very straight forward
