Guitar For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback))
The "For Dummies" series has
moved far from its humble beginnings as an auto repair manual in the late
1970s. This latest hefty offering suffers from trying to be too many
things to too many readers. Certainly, the introductory chapters are clear
and concise, with enough information to get the beginner started. But it's
not clear whether the book is geared toward electric or acoustic
guitar?the photo illustrations show chords played on an electric guitar
while the reader is learning campfire songs. Acoustic guitars don't make
an appearance until Chapter 12. Four additional chapters are devoted to
guitar selection, maintenance, and accessories, items beyond the immediate
interest of most beginning players. Libraries are already likely to have
any number of beginning guitar books, and these need not be displaced. (CD
not available for review.)?Eric C. Shoaf, Brown Univ. Lib., Providence
