Learn to Play Guitar takes a new player on a tour of the instrument and uses tablature as well as standard notation to introduce the strings, tuning, exercises, basic open chords, scales, strumming, chord progressions, additional chords, substitutions, notes on improvising, how chords and scales work together in progressions, plus much more. This easy to understand e-book is great by itself or as a suppliment to lessons. It also comes with a free trial version of Guitar Calculator Pro to help with your studies.
