Book Reviews of Mel Bay Guitar Chords
Book Review: Living Proof!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a full time, working musician. 5 years ago, i was not. I wanted to learn to play guitar and had ZERO experience (never even held one). I bought this book. After 3 months -THREE MONTHS- i was playing my own SOLO shows and i've never looked back. Since then (and a few more Mel Bay books) i've quit my "day" job and now have a band, a steady flow of gigs and i've independently sold over 8,000 copies of my first album!
I have copies of this book on hand at all times and whenever someone asks me (which is often) who is my guitar teacher, i hand them my Mel Bay Guitar Chords! I'm definitely living proof that this book is ALL YOU NEED to get started and i guarantee you'll be able to play at least 10 songs within the next 6 weeks! If you're serious about learning (or not serious and just want to check it out) see how EASY it is and BUY THIS BOOK. (oh and i recommend getting an extra copy or two because you WILL want to share it!)
Look me up on CD Baby if you want proof! ~LauraLea Taraskus
