If you are just entering into the world of guitar, it is likely that you’ve heard a thing or two about scales. Unfortunately, many new guitarists shudder when they hear the word scale. Music theory can certainly seem intimidating if you don’t know where to start! This book will help you understand that learning scales is not difficult or tedious. In fact, scales can be tons of fun if you know how to use them to make music.

Why would I want to learn all the notes of my fretboard? Over my 25+ year career as a musician and guitar teacher, I have come across many guitarists who cannot name all the frets on the fretboard. Learning the guitar or music theory for that matter, with no knowledge of the basic fundamental organization of the fretboard is a bit like trying to learn to swim without getting into the water.

Whether you’re young or old, there’s no better feeling than learning to play an instrument. Sadly, most people believe that they will never learn how to play a guitar. Local guitar teachers seem like a great option, at first, but you could risk getting stuck with a wannabe rock star who can't really teach you. Or, you could try YouTube, but most of those videos go way too fast, and they don't teach you the right way to play.

Story
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Publisher's summary
Learn to play the guitar in just a matter of days.
Frustrated with those terrible guitar books? Well, the feeling is mutual. After spending years researching all popular guitar music books out in the market and using them for 20 years teaching my students. There was never a time where I had to jump to other guitar material during my electric guitar lessons to cover what was missing in the current book I was teaching off of. There had to be a beginning guitar book that would covered everything a beginner needs, but I couldn't find any. There was just too many music books for guitar. This is where my journey began to create the ultimate guitar guide. Now it can be in your hands today!
This is a complete guide to learning acoustic guitar, acoustic guitar chords, acoustic rhythm guitar, and a bunch of electric guitar songs - everything a total beginner needs:
- Covering all 15 basic guitar chords (majors, minors, sevenths)
- Finger exercises that help build strength and dexterity while playing
- Covers eighth notes and rests (all beginner books do not cover this topic)
- Ten original tunes
- Proper strumming patterns
- Play in different styles, including rock, blues, Latin, folk, and classical
- Very simple-to-follow instructions
- Basic music theory
- And much more....
The Only Beginner's Guitar Book You'll Ever Need is a slam dunk for anyone interested in speeding up their guitar process.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

From age 11, in 1974, until she left the show, in 1981, Melissa Anderson literally grew up before the viewers of Little House on the Prairie. Melissa, as Mary, is remembered by many as the blind sister - and she was the only actor in the series to be nominated for an Emmy. In The Way I See It, she takes listeners onto the set and inside the world of the iconic series created by Michael Landon, who, Melissa discovered, was not perfect, as much as he tried to be. In this memoir she also shares her memories of working with guest stars like Todd Bridges, Mariette Hartley, Sean Penn, Patricia Neal, and Johnny Cash.

Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasureble talent: to unite and heal the world.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Useless as an audio book
This is effectively someone reading you a traditional method book. As an audio book, not seeing the music, diagrams, and figures, this is useless.
The book itself may be much better. My comments are limited to the audiobook version.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
