Publisher's Synopsis
The Problem with Most Guitar Books
Many guitar books today are still bogged down with technique and music theory...
Stuff that, while useful, can now often be learned for free and very easily on the internet.
But let's be honest...
Many guitarists don't even have any interest in learning to read music.
Because many of the greats never did.
(Ever heard of The Beatles? Eric Clapton? Tommy Emmanuel?)
After all, that's the great thing about learning guitar today...
If you want to learn songs, all you need is a basic understanding of tablature, and the ability to browse Ultimate Guitar.
Most guitarists no longer need to know music theory, how to read music, etc...
Making most guitar books seriously outdated.
That's why in my book, I took a radically different approach...
What all guitarists do need to know is how to choose, maintain, and care for their instrument.
And surprisingly few players know how to do exactly those things.
And yet if you don't even have a handle on those fundamentals...
Then it doesn't matter how good you are, or what song you're playing...
Because you simply aren't going to sound good on a poorly maintained instrument.
That's why in this book, I decided to reveal all the secret tips I know when it comes to buying, owning, and maintaining an acoustic guitar...
...Stuff that took me a decade to learn on my own, since it is scattered randomly around the internet (or rarely discussed at all)
