I purchased this for my 22 year old son. He is an avid guitarist and is enjoying the book while home on winter break for college. He has been playing for 7 years and asked for this for Christmas.

Guthrie continues to be a driving force in today’s guitar world. An inspirational book to beginners and the advanced as well. Great buy that I would highly recommend to any player. Also look at Creative Guitar 2: Advanced Techniques (Vol 2)

This book is extremely helpful to the beginning rock guitarist. It has some appropriate finger independence exercises, and is also an amazing tool for learning music theory from a non-classical point of view. If one internalized all of the information (arpeggio shapes, pentatonic scales, diatonic scales and modes, theory, fretboard knowledge, technique information, finger independence, and more) he/she would be considerable better than most rock guitarists out there. The backing tracks included are also great. A word to the wise, going through this book with a teacher would be ideal for those who don’t have solid technique. It’s very easy for the beginner to develop bad habits without a teacher.

Guthrie Govan proves not only to be an amazing guitarist, but also an excellent teacher. This book will have you feeling inspired to say the least. After reading many of the sections in this book I felt as excited to touch the guitar as I did the first time years ago. Guthrie’s love for music and especially the guitar is inspirational. This is by far the best guitar book I have ever read. Not only does it provide excellent technical strategies, but it also gives great insight on how and why certain sounds are produced. The book maintains a light-hearted approach and will not leave you disappointed pick it up if you want to play better.
