Easy to learn, great book!(Rating: 5)
I'm teaching myself the guitar and this book is so helpful and easy to read. Tells you how to play all the chords, how to care for your guitar, lots of very useful info in an informative and entertaining way. Thought i'd get annoyed at the 'funny' bits but they're cute. Best bit is the chord chart at the back though, very handy!

A must buy for any beginner(Rating: 5)
Am very happy with the book and the DVD.
I use the book more but I also use the DVD as a step by step guide and it's nice to play along with some one.
I advise purchasing both.

Jon Chappell - Learning Guitar For Dummies [DVD]

Very good for beginners(Rating: 4)
Very good book, and easy to follow. I am a returning beginner to guitar. And this book helps to refresh and the touch of humour throughout is much appreciated. It is taking me a while to get back into things but, by my own admition it takes me a bit to get into learning music. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to try their hand at guitar and needs some encouragement.

I'm obviously a dummy(Rating: 4)
I was completely inexperienced at playing the guitar and this book seems to cover everything I need (and will need). It's simple to follow and even the asides written by the authors don't seem to grate as much as I was expecting. It does get a little dull playing the same chords over and over and over but as you need to practice to get any good at anything it's probably more annoying for others in your household. I truly hadn't expected as much physical pain but that isn't the book's fault.
For a novice this book is fantastic.

Very Refreshing(Rating: 4)
I had not played guitar in a few years and forgotten alot of the basic things, so i thought id refresh my memory.
So far im 43 pages into the book and its a great read. For beginners or even just to remember and reignite an old passion i recommend it.
