Learning to play the guitar has never been easier! Idiot's Guides:
Playing Guitar begins with an introduction to different types of
guitars and their parts, followed by helpful information on how to
choose a guitar. You'll learn how to tune the guitar (supplemented with
online audio), how to correctly hold it, how to read tablature, and
about basic rhythm. Much of the remainder of the book gives you
easy-to-follow instructions on learning chords, and each lesson is
followed by a fun practice session and a simple song with which to
practice the newly learned chords. In addition to over-the-shoulder
color photos showing fingering positions and accompanying two-color
chord charts that show exactly what to do, you can hear the chords,
exercises, and songs performed from additional content online.
