Many years ago, having learnt the piano for seven years I wanted to add a second instrument to my repertoire. I chose the guitar and it was a disaster. I didnt stand a ghost [...] of a chance - I knew too much and too little, if that makes sense?So, this book by Tutty has landed on my laptop and the memories of years past are here once more, except now I feel I can tackle the guitar successfully. Just to be sure I wasn't dreaming, I asked my daughter who plays piano, french horn and violin (and has her friend's guitar in her wardrobe) to pick up that guitar and take a look at this book. She was self taught on guitar up till now - and now she has taken a break from studying and has whipped through this book and enjoyed it.So, if you are a beginner on guitar - perhaps you too have one in the bottom of your cupboard - this is a reassuring good book to buy.Oh, and did I mention about multi-tasking? It also addresses the practice of how to sing and play concurrently.I like this book; there are enough pictures to support the text and an introduction on how to read guitar music, whether it is written in tablature or chord box format.Highly recommended.Rosemary
