Phase 1
'This is my absolute favorite guitar method book. I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years with a mix of self-taught and lessons, and now I teach others. One thing that is always frustrating with traditional methods is how long they focus on the stuff kids, teens, and impatient adults find “boring” (like theory, single note practice segments that don’t make up a “song”, or simple outdated songs that are completely lost on younger generations). People want to say they’re learning guitar and be able to practice playing identifiable songs that they’re interested in. However, musicians know that all the “boring” stuff is essential to playing well and reading music. Ernie Ball addresses this expertly by segmenting the book into solo notes and chords, and providing practice segments and progressions that are more relevant. It allows me to be able to assign “boring” stuff paired with learning simple chord songs so people get playing fast and stay interested while building skills and theory knowledge.
Another issue with traditional methods is that they tend to either target beginner adults (and use language geared toward adults with higher reading comprehension and vocabulary, a strong focus on theory, and few pictures) or young kids (and use simple “kiddy” songs and concepts). Ernie Ball bridges that gap by providing easy to understand concepts that aren’t written in a way that is condescendingly juvenile or overwhelmingly boring. They also provide comics that are appropriate and relevant for all-ages. It is the only book I’ve had teens without prior music experience stay interested in.' - Amazon review
