Introduces new techniques to allow a guitarist to improve and expand their knowledge (2010-07-02) : 4/5
"The Hal Leonard Acoustic Guitar Method" is a really good book for guitarist who want to learn different techniques to improve their playing. It covers basic strumming styles, finger picking, flatpicking, Blues slides, alternative tuning, and explains capo use.br /br /The book includes many very helpful exercises with each section, and ends each chapter with a tabs and sheet music for popular songs. Riffs and intros for other songs are also included.br /br /NOTE: This book is for people who already know the basic of how to play, and I believe it's intended for the intermediate/advanced level. Not a good choice for newbies.br /br /I was disappointed that the CD didn't include more of the riffs from the book, but still think it's a nice learning tool.

Recommend A Little Later (2009-10-14) : 5/5
i tried this book out as my first lesson book. i agree with most that you should check out true beginner books before this one. i feel that it is a very good book, just for the advanced beginner. go with the hal leonard guitar method course first and then use this as a supplement. best of luck
not up to standard (2009-09-14) : 1/5
Hal Leonard has some great books on learning to play guitar but this is not one of them.
Build Your Song Base and Learn Valuable Techniques for the Acoustic Guitar (2009-05-19) : 5/5
Been playing guitar for years but never used any books directly addressing acoustic guitar technique. A student of mine had purchased the book based on my referral from using other Hal Leonard Method's so I didn't have any first hand knowledge on the book. When I saw my student's book I knew I needed to purchase a copy because though I have played for years the techniques and resources are valuable to have in my music library. br /br /Hal Leonard has done it again.
