My guitar teacher,a master musician and player of multiple instruments, loves this book and recommended it to me. We use it as part of our lessons, and I get so much from using it as part of my practice.
This book is a great way to begin to get acquainted with guitar without feeling too stressed. The directions and illustrations make learning notes and chords easy and the pairing of lessons with introductory songs really helps promote a sense of accomplishment and confidence in learning more.

Essential Elements is just that essential elements. It provides a backbone into the theory and procedures of operating a guitar. It will teach you to use the instrument to get yourself prepared for a teacher. It works as a great supplementary book with numerous exercises. I knew nothing of music and essential elements help me how to sight read and improve on my over all skill. Highly recommend.

I first learned about this book at a graduate level guitar pedigogy class. Many of the music teachers selected this as a favorite among the guitar method books. It has a solid and progressive approach to playing and music theory. There is a wide variety of music; classic rock, gospel, classical, jazz, etc. The quality recordings with which one can play make this fun for teacher and student alike.
I have taught from the Essential Elements Series for years. I have enjoyed the band method and I am currently using the strings method. I was excited to see the guitar method and I am awaiting guitar book two.
This book is good for students of professional teachers as well as those who are self-taught. BUY THIS BOOK.
