Learn to Play Guitar Complete combines Levels 1 and 2, and the book and DVD work together for lessons you can see and hear. You'll start with the basics like holding the guitar, reading music, and playing chords, then move on to specific techniques for several guitar-playing styles and genres. Styles covered include blues, rock, jazz, classical, and folk, and you'll hear every example performed by a live guitarist. This is an excellent way to get started playing guitar and advance to an intermediate skill level.

See it, hear it, and play it: every book in Alfred's MAX[T] series includes an instructional DVD to maximize learning.
