Guitar For Everyone Book 1 was first published in 2002 and this book has proven to be very popular with pupil and teachers alike. This plectrum method book takes the absolute beginner through to someone who can read music to a 1st/2nd grade standard and play 26 chords. The average time students take to complete this book is about one year.

Guitar For Everyone Book 2 was published in 2004 and is the ideal next step after Book 1. In this book you will develop your reading skills to an intermediate or 3rd/4th grade standard. You will develop a basic understanding of scale construction, learn how to write simple tunes, and learn to how play solo pieces for guitar.

Two new books have just been published (September 2006):
Rock 'n' Blues Guitar For Everyone which teaches the absolute beginner how to improvise as a lead guitarist in the rock and blues styles. Rock 'n' Blues Guitar For Everyone is set out in a clear and well structured way making it an ideal book for anyone who wants to learn to improvise and play lead guitar.

Guitar For Everyone 'First Steps' is a book written for the very young beginner, 5 yrs +. We believe this book to be the easiest available anywhere. It has 32 pages of fun tunes with lyrics. At the end of the book the young guitarist will know seven notes and three simple chords and have a basic knowledge of theory. Play using finger or plectrum style. Beautifully illustrated by Claire Tindall. This book is the ideal starter for the Guitar For Everyone series or any other course you prefer.
