Title: Great learning tool
Review: My guitar instructor told me to get this book, as it is the one we’d be using during lessons.The book is well laid out and informative. If I run into problems or have questions between classes, I’ve had a lot of success finding the answer to those questions in this book.It jumps around a bit, but not to the point it will confuse you.Even though I’ve progressed beyond this book, it still provides a resource if I ever need to get a reminder or tip to help me out.Although, it’s not a substitute for actual lessons, It’s a great book for raw beginners. Highly recommended

Title: I've been teaching guitar with Jerry Snyder's books since 1974
Review: I've been teaching private guitar and group lessons using Jerry Snyder's books since 1974. "Guitar School" is his main guitar method book these days.This book is divided into two sections, with the front half devoted to learning chords and various strum and picking patterns and the back half is devoted to learning single notes using standard music notation. Snyder now tosses in a bit of TAB, which is helpful since so many songs are learned on the Internet via TAB.What I appreciate about his approach is that he introduces the student to various styles of guitar playing, using either (or both) picks or fingerstyle. The styles include folk, rock, jazz and classical. Since some of the songs in this book are a bit dated, I always supplement my lessons with additional songs from other sources to keep the students interested.I always stress to my students that learning standard notation is important if one wants to have a career in music. One of my former students worked as a studio musician in L.A. for a few years and I know that his ability to read notation made a big difference.I've used this book with students down to the 3rd and 4th grade. I used the previous edition of this book in guitar classes with both adults and elementary students. It works at all levels.

Title: Just what I needed
Review: This method allows me to present a guitar curriculum clearly, gaining mastery of the instrument as I go along. It leverages what I know about group string instruction and music theory without requiring me to be an expert guitarist yet. The CD and Kindle student book (especially its illustrations) are key elements as well.

Title: Incomplete without the CDs.
Review: There is a wealth of information in this guitar method. It would be very difficult for a beginner to learn from it without much instruction from a guitar teacher. It moves quickly from easy to hard things to play. The first 2/3rds is geared to learning chords. Although there are some melodies on the first pages, after that, many are nothing more than chord progressions to be played along with the music CD which is no longer available on Amazon or the publisher's website, Alfred. The last 1/3rd of the book begins on page 66 and focuses on playing melodies. There is a melody on most of these pages with the chord letters. Jerry Snyder's Guitar Class Method Book 1 and 2 are good resources to have but are not so good for someone wanting to learn from scratch.
