Beginning Guitar
This book isn't bad if you don't know anything at all about the guitar. It starts off a little simple for me, but if that is what you are looking for this book is for you. Good practice at fingering and picking. I think it is geared more toward the acoustic guitar than an electric guitar. Not bad for a beginner's book.

A TEACH YOURSELF, MUST HAVE...
THIS IS THE EZ WAY TO TEACH YOURSELF. I COULD NOT BELIVE HOW THIS BOOK MAKES IT SO EZ TO PLAY FROM DAY ONE. THE ONLY THING IS IT MAKES IT TO EZ, YOU'LL WANT TO MOVE TO FAST THU THE BOOK. (ITS JUST THAT GOOD OF A BOOK) A MUST HAVE. THE CD IS A BIG HELP YOU CAN HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE ARE PLAY ALONG. SO TAKE YOUR TIME AND WORK ON YOUR SKILLS DONT RUSH IT. HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU LIKE IT DID FOR ME. I KNOW IT WILL.. GOOD LUCK

Simple and easy to understand
Very simple and basic book.
Just keep in mind that it will teach you the first basics of playing guitar and that is it.
There isn't much on building chords, scales, advanced techniques. Which isn't a bad thing, since some books overwhelm and discourage a new guitar player.
