Guitar Exercises for Beginners: 10x Your Guitar Skills in 10 Minutes a Day (Guitar Exercises Mastery): 1

great guitar book for beginners or any one picking up the guitar after a long break its clearly explained and its fun to 10 mins practice a day really does help improve guitar playing.

Good introductory material, suitable for beginners. Covers most chords needed to play songs, also useful control exercises for your fingers. Maybe a chapter for fingerpicking would have been useful. 2 minor glitches: - it refers to the pentatonic scale, but the scale itself is not described in the book (although other scales are) - it mentions Bm in one of the last chapters, although the chord is not defined

Had an on-again, off-again (more off than on) relationship with the guitar for the past 20+ years. Love the guitar and watching people playing it but that love would turn into fristration and borderline hatred when trying to learn myself. No getting around it, it is one of (if not) the most maximum effort/mininal return musical instruments ever. Got a cheap guitar off gumtree when found out we (in the UK) were going into another lockdown. Started following a couple of online courses but never felt like i was getting anywhere, so the guitar was sitting in the stand more than in my hands. As i started reading more and more posts within guitar communities i saw the name Guitar Head pop up with people singing the praises of the books. Took a punk on this book and, all I can say is WOW! The way it is written is so easy to understand and follow without being patronising, it actually makes it fun to follow. Have spent the best part of a week just picking the guitar up for half hour here and there and it feels like i have made more progress in that short space of time than the weeks spent trying to follow some online courses. It had got me to the stage where a lot of the things you see and hear while going through online lessons to be easier to understand and follow, it now like the progress is improving exponentially (I dont mean i'll be playing Voodoo Child with me eyes closed in a month), I just mean little things like scales that, a month ago i thought i would never get to play, and now, thanks to following the exercises in this book, i can actually play. If you are a beginner and decide to get this book, just take your sweet time and don't move onto the next exercise until you have pretty much mastered the current one. Sorry for the long winded review but yes, this book is totally worth it. Am going to buy the other beginner book now, and look forward to buying the more advanced ones once I have these ones sussed.

Son loved this book been practicing guitar for a year. My only comment relates to packing by Amazon for paperback A4 books - putting these books into boxes without adequate packing. does not work. All three guitar books ordered recently were all bent on arrival and boxes had no real packing so easily squashed. One was returned because of this and could not be given as a present.

My mark is not a reflection of the contents of the book which I am enjoying, more of a pointer to the poor quality paper used which I think is unacceptable at the price point . I have had the book less than a week and the pages and particularly the cover are wavy and deformed, the book should definitely have been made with a spiral binding as you cannot get the pages to lie flat. Decent book, poor design and finish

I started playing in my teenage years, then took about 20 years off to have a family and such, found my guitar at the back of the cupboard one day and started to play, soon most of the old songs I learnt were coming back to me, as I never had lessons I learnt songs from tab, no theory, mostly power chords, Greenday, offspring, rage against the machine and korn. Decided that I would purchase this book to try and improve my technique and finally learn some theory and note progression. Found the book really interesting and easy to follow, I knew most of the early chords in the book so just played through quite quickly, then got to the scales and the ‘confusing spider’ exercise, purposefully slowed down to make sure I was ‘getting’ it. Now about 6 weeks since I received the book I am practising at least 10 mins a day and loving it! The old songs I would play seam so much easier now by utilising the techniques learnt from this book, much cleaner as well with the finger exercises, I can learn songs from tab a lot quicker too. Thanks to this book me, the eternal beginner is finally ‘improving’ ( or at least I think I am ) got the bug and playing for more like an hour a day, 15-20 mins from the book then thrash out some songs and feel like a rockstar for a bit! Love this book would highly recommend to anyone.

For a beginner , good to work through each lesson

Good for teaching the basics needed to start your guitar journey...not the easiest exercises for the rank beginner but you'll reach your goal with diligent practise in the right direction.
