Uncle Tim's First Year

I've recently returned to the guitar after a 20 year lay off. I didn't want to start from scratch but I did want to return to rudiments and get back on tract the right way. This series, beginning with this book is the most comprehensive, well written (from a teaching stand point) material I have ever read. If you are serious about being a guitarist and you want to learn the right way (and learn quickly) this series is an absolute MUST! There are a few type-o's to deal with but it is well worth the effort. I am convinced that Tim Gillespie is the best teacher I have ever worked with and I would buy anything he signs his name to. After an intense six month workout with this material I already have a very successful performance under my belt. Thank you Tim!

If you really want to know the guitar, and are willing to work, this book is brilliant. It gives you first-position scales and chords in twelve major keys while teaching the music theory that you need to understand what you're playing. It's a very simple program, but it works if you are willing to put in the work.If you're happy playing power chords in your basement, or folk songs around the campfire, it probably isn't for you.
