Title: Do Not Overlook This Stuff
Review: No, this is not an exciting book. It doesn't teach songs, chord progressions, or theory. I give this book a 5-star rating because of the valuable warm-up exercises. It can be tempting to skip warming up and get right to playing. Not a good idea. Warming up for guitar is like an athlete getting ready for a game. I personally only do the Chapter 1 exercises before I play. Staying physically fit to play is very beneficial, and getting into that practice cannot happen early enough for a guitar player. Putting these warmup exercises to use as described has helped me keep my fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders and back limber and injury-free. Doing this takes a few minutes before I actually play, but taking these precautionary measures is MUCH better than getting injured and not being able to play.

Review: I'm more than a bit disappointed that this book seems to have been written for the student with a teacher in mind, instead of a someone wanting to learn on their own or improve without an auxiliary aspect that the book does not provide. For instance, it doesn't say much, if anything, about reading music, and associating notes with their position on the neck of the guitar. Over all I've ordered other books to try and better understand this book, and that's very disappointing to me.

Title: Well, it sounded OK...
Review: The book has no problem, other than it is basically a rehash of every other warmup book that has even been published. The ideas are sound but redundant when compared to other literature on the topic. I was hoping for something new to share with students and ended up being reminded of things that I've forgotten over the years. I'm keeping it as a studio copy to share before lessons so that students can choose their own warmups. Again, a book worth the price, but there's just nothing new here.

Title: Book for Advanced beginners.
Review: I have several books by Tom Kolb. When i ordered this book i was expecting something along the lines of guitar aerobics by Troy nelson but to my disappointment this book starts with very basics, things that i already know. Not suited to an intermediate player in my opinion.
