Title: This book is discouraging!
Review: I bought this book as an eager beginner to music. What a mistake! This instructor keeps reminding you, whether directly or through his piecemeal instructional method, that it will take you years to be able to "correctly" play the guitar. The tone of this book is very formal, pedantic, and painfully slow. Very, very boring. All in all, I guess this book would be a perfect choice if you consider yourself to be a "serious" student of the guitar, and you don't mind spending twelve months slowly progressing to playing stiff, strained renditions of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", or like fare. But if you're like the vast majority of aspiring guitar players who just want to learn how to play old Rolling Stones licks, look elsewhere. This book will only frustrate you and discourage you from learning to play the guitar.
