Title: A reasonable book, but there are better options.
Product review: The reason I have given it two stars is that this book might be useful for absolute beginners with no background in music.While I respect the heritage of the Mel Bay series, if only because it helped me with a couple of things when I was learning guitar, this book can be supplanted by about 20 minutes of internet searching. To top it off, the songs are 'church songs' that a high percentage of people wouldn't recognize or be able to practice with.If you are an absolute novice to music (you've never touched an instrument), this book will be useful. If, however, you have any background this book will be overly simplistic. With the exception of the last 4 pages it has fewer than a dozen chord diagrams & nothing on tab. I may be sending it back & either going online to look for guitar chords (and a Uke chart) or to look for video lessons that would cost nothing but bandwidth.
