I don't have any complaints about the book. I received one book from Fundamental Changes as a gift, and I am very pleased with the contents and supporting material. I thought this book (ordered from Amazon) might be a little more advanced. I plan to purchase additional books from the Fundamental Changes series. I probably should have looked at a sample of the book before purchasing.

I had always had trouble with movement/playing of my Left Hand, until I started using this book. I had decided several times that guitar must just not be for me, that my hands must be too small, but I didn't want to give up. Other folks with small hands learn to play, so I kept working at it, miserably. This book showed me things expensive guitar teachers never did. Learning how to move the left hand, and how to anticipate and place left hand fingers as I played opened up my world. I'm grateful.

When starting out learning how to play guitar......what to do and how to do it are paramount. This book was of great help in building a practice routine. Not only the what but the how as well. You or someone you know is getting into guitar....this book isn't expensive it's priceless. Buy it. NOW

At one point I was a pretty good guitar player. That was decades ago. Now that I have more time on my hands I've picked the guitar up again and am using this book to help my get back into it. It's a good resource. I recommend it.

I practice some of these exercises every day, they are challenging and at the same time fun to do.
Just 10 minutes a day from this book and I could see the results in a couple of weeks.

Like Mr Alexander's books very well written. The book would be best for someone first picking up the guitar. If you have
been playing for a year you should know this.

I wish I had this book when I was 16.
I've played guitar now for several years, mostly as a hobby. As is true of most amateur guitar enthusiasts, I spent most of my time messing around, creating strange sounds and playing around with tabs of my favorite songs that I found online. I knew basic barre chords and a few open chords, and that was about it.
This book would have helped me a lot in those early days. Alexander works you through all of the basics, from how to hold the guitar to how to hold the pick, how to ensure that your right and left hands are in harmony, how to play major scales, how to strum, how to play slides, bends, and do a few other tricks. These are all the basic elements of guitar playing, yet here they are explained in such simplicity and clarity that anybody could understand them.
The exercises work wonders, too. I can finally do some basic fingerstyle patterns, and I now know the appropriate place to put my right hand for effective palm muting.
I can't think of any drawback to this method. There are no corny songs to play, and everything is presented at a very slow, deliberate pace.
If I had this book...
