A friend mentioned in his holiday letter that he and his son were learning guitar together, so I bought this as part of a guitar care package I'm sending to them.

The other parts of the care package: a capo, a string winder/peg puller, and a CD with a bunch of mp3s representing a range of guitar styles and guitarists that I respect. I've sent this book to around 5 people who have mentioned they were interested in learning the guitar. (Sorry if I didn't send you a copy.

I've sent this book to around 5 people who have mentioned they were interested in learning the guitar.

(Sorry if I didn't send you a copy. It was because I didn't believe you were serious about it.) So anyway, I spent an hour or so last night skimming/reading through the book since it was sitting out by the Christmas tree. In college had the 1982 edition (with the cooler, black cover and the Andy Summers intro) that I must have picked up and consulted at least once a week, so I was interested to see what was different in the updated 1992 version (with the less cool, blue cover and the Robert Fripp intro). Nice Lee Harvey Oswald smirk in your photo by the way, Mr. Since acoustic guitar making (luthiering?) has pretty much been perfected and an electric guitar is just a hunk of wood with mid-20th century electronics in it and most guitarists aren't interested in music theory or music production beyond c.

1980 - despite the exhortations in Mr. Fripp's introduction - this book has actually aged pretty well. I could complain about this or that guitarist being left out of the The Guitar Innovators section, as the majority of my reviewing peers have, but I was mostly glad to see that Steve Cropper was included and surprised to see that Syd Barrett was included. So no complaints there. I can't help myself. Why the hell is there no Muddy Waters or Mississippi John Hurt, dammit??? I couldn't resist.

I had forgotten just how complete of a reference this book is. The Guitar Handbook is really too modest of a title for how much information this book contains. Aside from my girlfriend and David Letterman, every one of my interests during college is in this book: famous rock guitarists and their gear, Gibson guitars, guitar repair and customization, music theory, chords, scales, electronic theory, audio electronics. (Weirdly, I had no interest in computers back then.) It's also amazing how packed in the information is into only 250 or so pages. Each concept is clearly written with nice illustrations or a photo showing how to put your fingers. It can get quite deep quite quickly.

It would take years to memorize, let alone master, the material in this book. For example, I was flipping through the chords sections looking for a refresher on my favorite 9th chord fingerings, and the entire opposite page is taken up a section titled Altered Ninth Chords that has 12 illustrated gems such as the 'Seventh augmented ninth augmented fifth chord fingering.' The great thing about it is that the tone of the prose is so calm. It patiently refers back to the page numbers of sections that it is building on, and plows on like this is no big deal. Guitarists play chords that take a staff and a half and two sharps and a flat to notate all the time. No need to panic.

Two pages later: Chord synonyms. Two pages after that: Modulation using secondary chords. Sounds like jazz to me. Tear that page out.) These are probably entire college courses somewhere, but if read carefully and practice your scales and your chords all will be revealed to you. The sections that help you understanding how your guitar is put together and how to adjust and fix it are very helpful too.

And they are explained extremely well with diagrams and plenty of background theory. Being your own guitar tech not only strengthens your relationship with your guitar, but it helps avoid being spoken to condescendingly by a baby boomer with a grey ponytail, which is one of my pet peeves. It will also help you determine the difference between a crappy guitar and one that just isn't adjusted very well. They both play just as poorly, but only one is salvageable. Nothing makes a beginner want to give up quicker than a guitar that is hard to play.

So it's good to be able to make your guitar as playable as possible, whether it's a First Act thingie from Wal-Mart or a Les Paul Custom you found in your uncle's basement. Bottom line: You don't need the Internet. You don't need to apply to Berklee College of Music. You just need some determination, a decent $200-ish Fender Squier Strat or Epiphone Les Paul and you can become a decent guitarist. A patient girlfriend helps a lot, too. And later maybe get a breadboard, assorted electronic components, and a copy of for some real geeked out fun.

I recently donated the Les Paul that I played throughout college to the Bay Area Girls Rock Camp in Oakland. It was a happy instance where my desire to pass on some of the joy from my younger days dovetailed nicely with my fear of picking up guitar again as part of a midlife crisis. I would recommend any other Gen-Xers out there to consider doing the same. I should probably send them a copy of this book too now that I think of it.

My guitar playing is still shit.:) But that's no reflection on this book. The book is alright, though it does seem dated now. To give you an idea, I have the 1993 edition.

Bought it new in 2007. It makes no mention of Joe Satriani whatsoever! If updated, it could be a worthwhile buy for those that love having a book about how guitars work, set-up, the various styles and how the electronics work. The chord book towards the end is handy.

For those serious about learning to play the guitar, I'd recommend Barrett Tagliarino's Guitar Fretboard Workbook. A very complete sourcebook and 'owner's manual' for both would-be guitarists and veteran axe-slingers. Perhaps the section on pioneering guitarists could be expanded to include a few more names, and perhaps there are better books to use if you are starting playing from scratch (such as the ones that include CDs etc), but all in all very complete. This book also deals with issues such as adjusting your guitar's neck, the 'playing action' and amplification and should really be on the bookshelf of A very complete sourcebook and 'owner's manual' for both would-be guitarists and veteran axe-slingers.

Great reference book. Not very adequate for learning how to play a guitar, as it has no exercises - it just lays down the theory without any kind of step-by-step exercises or progressive learning curve (altough it does feature a great, complete and handy chord dictionary and charts) but great as a reference book as it has very complete and varied information on guitar theory, equipment, guitar history and even includes small bios on guitar luminaries (it's somewhat crimminal that it does not ref Great reference book.

So if you want to learn how to play pcik something else up but if you are looking for a good reference book you need not to look any further. A very thorough compendium on all things guitar, with sections covering maintenance, guitar care, theory, a chord 'dictionary,' basic how- to play, and 'guitar innovators.' I bought the newest edition, and it is greatly greatly in need of revision and updates, particularly in the section on guitar innovators.

There is not a single woman represented in this list which goes on for 33 pages! Also, the word 'Negro' is used-welcome to the 21st century! For those trying to learn guitar, this may not be the best as it doesn't feature many images and contains an almost overwhelming amount of information. However, I have found it useful as it explains tablature and has such an extensive chord dictionary.
