-15 Clear and Uncomplicated Lessons-

-Learn from a Professional Guitar Teacher-

Written by a professional, full time guitar teacher, 15 Essential Guitar Lessons for Beginners, teaches you to play the right way from the first time you pick up the instrument.

"The most common scenario I come across as a guitar teacher is the adult who is self-taught with bad habits: Things that should be sorted out on day one and have been left unchecked for years have developed into brick walls stopping any progress.

These fundamental problems need to be sorted out before the student can improve and sadly it takes a long time to un-learn and re-train an ingrained habit.

I wrote this book to try to help people get things right, right from the start".

- Joseph Alexander
