Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 by Will Schmid,Greg Koch

Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 by Will Schmid,Greg Koch is Between the endless sources on the Internet, other books I've purchased, and even videogames, this book is what I turn to most when I want to give myself a guitar lesson. Spending as little as 15 minutes in an evening, I can learn something new and pluck out a new tune, but the best part for me so far is that I'm able to do this by actually reading music! While online tabs are a fun and (often-) free resource, I really wanted to be able to pick a guitar up the way I used to pick up my oboe as a kid and be able to understand how the notes on the staff relate to the instrument and just have at it. This book takes me on a gradual and intuitive journey that incorporates the reading of music and playing techniques in easy, perfectly paced increments that don't leave me feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. If I let myself get a little out of practice, I can just take myself to the previous lesson, refresh, and hop right back into the curriculum.It has been years since I've played or otherwise been personally involved in music, but these books have made it accessible and much less intimidating. In addition to a segment out of this book, my ideal practice session also includes "finger aerobics" exercises out of another book, and a lesson out of my guitar music theory book. With this book as the foundation, I feel like I have a perfect system to learn to play with the more complete knowledge I wanted.

Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 by Will Schmid,Greg Koch is As an adult - 40 years old - who is just learning guitar I really enjoy this book. Is not only helping learn guitar but helping with reading music. Started out trying to use "Yousician" app, but it is just reading tabs and more of a "Guitar Hero" type learning approach. I feel this book offers a more meaningful learning experience.

Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 by Will Schmid,Greg Koch is Great book. My instructor told me to buy book one but that was not available, so I bought the 3-in-1. This is loosely followed, so the hokey songs aren't the only ones I'm learning. They have to be hokey to use only the notes and strings presented for the lesson, so that is not a criticism but a comment of "oh well, let's get through this to learn the lesson. "A great feature is the plastic binding that allows this book to lay open flat or folded completely over.Even when the instructor gives another assignment, I find it helpful to check information in the book for sticky spots. Several teachers said that this is the best basic book on the market and I believe them. I love this book.

Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 by Will Schmid,Greg Koch is This is actually a pretty good book for a beginner. I've messed around with a guitar for years, only using Tab. I decided I wanted to learn to read music notation, and this book fit the bill nicely. The first "book" is pretty basic, and if you have more than zero knowledge already, you'll blow through it in 5 minutes. But the 2nd and 3rd books have some classic (i.e. not copyrighted anymore) songs that worked well for teaching me to read notes. Overall, a decent book for beginners. The learning curve is not too steep, but there is still plenty of substance (in books 2 and 3).
