Summary: Excellent series!
Review: I played piano long ago as a kid, but have been out of music for quite a few years now. This is a great way to get back in, learning the bars, notes, and strings. I'm a fan of progressive rock and metal, so I plan to follow in the footsteps of guitar greats like Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen. LONG way to go, but the melodies in this book are a great first step.By the way, if you wanna learn an instrument but find yourself running out of steam, listen to music you enjoy for a while .. You should feel the urge to copy it, and you'll be ready to go again.

Summary: Great Start
Review: The 3 book/3 CD compilation of the HL Guitar Method is where I began and what I use to teach students how to master the guitar and to become... musicians. The book methodically relys on learning to read actual music (later in the book the tab method is introduced) and slowly, patiently develops the student's fingers, ears, and appreciation of harmony and melody. Theory is introduced ever so subtley and enjoyably. The CD tracks are excellent and make quality self-study feasible. Many of the songs or exercises are presented in slow and up tempo versions. This is a treasure chest for the teacher and student or the student who is teaching himself. The supplemental HL "pop melody" books enhance the entire method, but this compilation volume is itself complete.

Summary: Just perfect
Review: This book is amazing. It is not easy to find a single source for different level of skill. The book has plenty of excercises and songs for beginners and more advanced guitar players. There are folk, rock, blues songs arranged for acoustic or electric guitar. Enclosed CDs are very helpful. Try to listen the song before you start playing it. You probably dont need to look for other books, because this one covers it all.

Summary: Excellent series!
Review: This is a great system for learning the guitar. The instructions and photos are clear and this gets you reading music and playing tunes quickly. (Includes TAB in the second book) - since all three volumes of this serires are bound in one terrific spiral binding - this is an excellent value. I am a pianist and like this system because it gets into reading notes immediately. I tried another system that did not explain what notes were where on the guitar and found it frustrating since I knew where they were on the piano, I wanted to know where they were on the guitar - not just where to place my fingers. This is a great book!
