Looks very plainPrinting looks cheap. But. Great info5 books in one so well worth it

It is what I expected.

try, you will be surprise

Does not cover EVERY conceivable topic but does the most need and does do quite well. Also written with some humor which on occasion is funny.

This is a great resource that collects and updates the prior 8-in-1 edition of the Dummies‘ guitar books. Highly recommended. Couple of notes:1. This edition omits the chapters on song-writing. If that sort of thing is important to you, I’d buy the prior edition. Also, paper quality and print quality has gone down, drastically.2. The new edition contains a new chapter on fretboard learning. I think it’s terrific.3. the current and prior editions do not give you several dummies books in one. Instead, you get compiled excerpts from those books‘ opening chapters. E.g. the blues guitar for dummies book is excerpted here but only contains the first 80-100 pages—for the rest you have to buy the full Blues Guitar for Dummies book.So, if you’re a beginner unsure which direction to take your guitar playing, this book is solid gold and great value.But if you already know that your main interests are with just one of classical/rock/Blues/jazz guitar, I’d skip this and buy a Dummies book dedicated to just that.

Great introductory book for a begginer guitarist.

I haven't had much chance to really get into the book yet, but the first thing I noticed was the photos are very poor quality. The photo of the electric guitar is so dark, the guitar can hardly be seen. The rest are hard to make out and unclear.I expect more from a company that prints so many volumes of books.The book overall, seems like it will be very useful and informative.
