Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a total beginner?
It works best if you already play a little. An exercise book drills technique; it does not walk you through holding the guitar or your first chords.
02Does it come with audio tracks?
No. It is a printed book. You'll want a metronome to work through the exercises at controlled tempos.
03Is it notation or tab?
Carl Fischer guitar editions are engraved for guitar study. Confirm the reading format matches what you're comfortable with before buying.
04Can I use this alongside lessons?
Yes. Technique exercise books are commonly assigned as supplementary practice material next to a teacher's main curriculum.
