Summary: Excellent book for EXTREME beginners
Review: First off, I'd like to say don't buy this if you already know a few chords. This book is for people who have never strummed a guitar before and in that capacity it is a great resource. This book teaches you how to tune your guitar, restring your guitar and basic methods on how to make chords work for you. The CD that comes with it helps you listen to see if what you're playing is correct which is very helpful for people just starting out or for the tone-deaf among us. You also learn what power chords are, which if you have an electric guitar, these are fun to play with. I would highly recommend this for those just starting out playing the guitar.But if you're like me and you already know a decent many chords and only want a book that teaches you various modern worship songs, don't buy this. Most of these worship songs I've never even heard of. So all in all, an excellent resource for those who have never taken a lesson, and don't know what a chord is.

Summary: WOW - Immediate Success
Review: I hate books that tie you up with notes and technical stuff. This book was totally different! With in the first day I was playing praise and worship songs that rock! I just started playing guitar and this has been the biggest help so far out of all my books, tapes etc... I also have started to write my own songs using this book. It is a must for anyone like me who wants to get a jump start and not have to jump hurdles.

Summary: No more lame strum patterns
Review: This book is great. I bought it about 6-9 months ago along with a couple of other guitar books. When I first looked through it, I thought it was a bit basic for my needs. Thank God I took the time to pick it up again the other day. This book doesn't just teach you chords, it teaches you how to PLAY those chords. Not just STRUM STRUM STRUM, but actual strum patterns. This makes a HUGE difference in your musicianship.
I see this is called "Book 1" and don't see a book 2, I sure hope one is in the works.
Drawback? The only thing is, you probably won't recognize any of the original worship songs in the book. But that's OK... learn what's in there and apply it to the songs you love and you'll be thrilled with your ability to play.
This ISN'T just for people who want to learn worship music. If you're not a Christian, this book will still benefit you greatly. Pick it up and start getting better now.
