Great Acoustic intro book, October 7, 2003

Bert Casey is an excellent guitar instructor. If you use this book in conjunction with the video or DVD you'll get a pretty comprehensive understanding of acoustic guitar techniques. Casey uses classic songs like "In the Pines", "Going Down that Road Feeling Bad", "Banks of the Ohio" (and more) to effectively teach you how to play. The video is great for those who would profit from visual demonstration.

There is also a follow up book that has recently become available that goes into even more depth. But this book/CD should keep you busy for a while.

Bert Casey's Guitar Primer book is excellent. This book can be used for the first year or more of your journey with guitar. The lessons are well planned and presented, easy to follow also. Very good progress can be made following the material laid out in this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to play guitar well and move beyond simple chord structures. All A++++ for this book.

Great intro to Country and Bluegrass Flatpicking., July 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Primer for Beginners (Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I've been fooling around with the guitar off and on for 25 years. After all that time I still consider myself a beginner. This summer I was having another "serious" go at playing when I bought Casey's book on the recommendation of a guitar shop owner. One of my problems is that I know the intro and "signature" lick of many songs, but when asked to perform for friend and family, I just didn't have a repertoire of complete songs (either standards that everyone can sing-along with or instrumentals that stand on their own). Casey's book has solved this problem, the first dozen or so pages are pretty basic, but then things get interesting. Casey has excellent (yet simple) arrangements of traditional bluegrass and country songs that make great additions to one's repertoire while also teaching playing techniques: alternating base, bass runs between chord changes, combining hammer-ons and pull-offs with strumming, etc. They are easy enough for the beginner to play while having enough fancy licks to impress non-players with your chops. The included CD has all songs at slow and performance tempos to help with learning the songs. Some of my particular favorites are "Rolling in my Sweet Baby's Arms", "Sitting on top of the World", and "Wabash Cannonball". I've been having a lot of fun with this book for the past couple of months. The information in this book is also available on Video and DVD, which I am considering buying.

it shouldnt be called a book, to say the least. I went through in an hour and the content is more like pamphlet from a guitar manual.

Don't overlook this book, it is short but packs an incredible amount of information into a small package. I'm an experienced guitarist but a newcomer to the bass. While I knew much of the theory Mr. Taylor is teaching in this book, I loved how clearly it was explained and he actually clarified some things I though I understand from my study of the guitar. The lessons are well thought out and easy to understand with just the right amount of information in each lesson. All in all a perfect book if you are just starting out on the bass.

I think it is great for someone just learning and never touch a guitar before . I have played before and it had been a while so I was looking for something more of a review and to bring myself back up to speed since it has been a while since I had played guitar. I'm always in front of the computer so I figured this would be perfect to do on the computer. I am learning some things from the cd and it has help motivate me to play again and i have been picking up my guitar doing so more often. and the tips given on this cd has also help alot with setting up the sound I'm looking for.as of now I have not finished it yet but I would say yes it is worth the money . but I would also say if you are a pretty good guitar player already well then this isn't for you. Chances are you already know most if not all of what is on this cd . but if you are just starting out or just want to get motivated to play again and need to get back to the basics this may work for you and some of the tips on this cd will be of great help to you too.

Bought this for my daughter who has been playing for about a year now. Most of the first lessons were below her skill level. She was pretty excited to have the animated fretboard to help her learn songs like "Lake of Fire" and AC DC songs. When we got the program and she got to those songs she was disappointed because it only teaches one or two bars of the songs not the whole song. There are only a couple songs they teach all of and they weren't songs she wanted to learn.
so Pros
animated fretboard is an awsome way to learn
chord dictionary is a great tool
Metronome is helpful
the digital recorder will help you hear your progress

Cons
it teaches only a few bars of each song
most of the lessons are very basic
the vocals on the disk are really bad

Overall it is worth the money to learn some of the styles but would be better if they could teach whole songs. I don't think anyone likes to be able to only play 2 bars of a song.
