Teach Yourself Guitar published by Santorella Publications is the first in a series including CD that was initially created as an impulse product for a typical independent Guitar & Amp shop. In a market flooded with similar products, we swiftly learned that our edition was more than just a quick fix for the beginner.

Accordingly, Teach Yourself Guitar has become the standard for countless educators as a private lesson study guide.There are numerous products on the market that falsely proclaim incomprehensible results in just minutes.

To truly master the guitar, one must have their eyes set on short-term goals in order to achieve long-term results. We are proud to say that we have met this challenge by providing a proven curriculum to learning the many facets of playing the guitar in this one of a kind guide.Topics covered include:
