- What people are saying:
-
- New York Guitar Method is the most complete series of guitar educational books I’ve ever encountered. From my “talks” with Mr. Arnold via email this series of books is his attempt to make sure beginners get everything they need to achieve their goals. I started in as an intermediate guitarist with a lot of holes in my playing that I didnt even know about. Mr. Arnold started me with the Primer One Book, even though I thought I was more advanced than that. But there was a ton of stuff I learned about music theory, and get this– how I was holding the guitar wrong! I’d go as far as saying that if I had continued to play in that position, I might have tendonitis by now and that alone is a life saver. B. Michaels
- IMHO this is a very good introductory book. It covers numerous aspects from how to hold a guitar, pluck notes, using a pick, left and right hand position and even music theory. It also has sight reading exercises and basic chord progressions. It improved my nonexistent ability to read notes and identify rhythmic patterns. It is meant to prepare a beginner for the rest of the series (New York Guitar Method books 1 & 2) which can get pretty advanced. What I particularly like about it is that the information is presented as exercises that you first think about, then write on the staff and also tab, then play it on the guitar, so you are learning on multiple levels. I found the sight reading exercises and some of the theory to be difficult for a complete novice (like me), but there is a contact email address to members so you can ask questions from the author. M. Martz
- Brillant book and series! Being someone who lives “in the sticks” and has no chance of studying with a teacher in the city these books are a godsend. Not meant for the slacker though, these books keep you working! T. Littlebury
- I ran into Bruce Arnold’s books a few years ago. If you’re like me you are struck by how different they are than most other publications. This whole idea of serious music education with direct support from the author is so great and hopefully will become the new norm. For myself it has completely transformed me as a musician. In those cases where I’m really stuck Mr. Arnold has answered my questions straight away, one time within seconds. Makes me wonder if he ever sleeps ;-) It’s really quite amazing. I recommend it if you really want a top notch music education and the kind of encouragement that really helps. T. Gibbs.
- Great Book! Nice to learn some songs that aren’t “Row Row Row your boat.” Book contains a nice amount of theory, rhythm, technique information but doesn’t force it on you. I just started with the chord progressions and skipped all the other stuff. B. Saunders.<
- Total beginner here. Just got the guitar and purchased this book. You certainly can’t argue that this book is short on information. The “Quick Start” page really helped me to first understand I didn’t have to start at the beginning of the book. I used the TOC to look up some chords and start playing some progressions. As my questions started popping up I used the TOC to help me find answers. Now that I got a few chord progressions under my belt which by the way sound great I’m working on the theory and learning some scales to noodle around with which is really fun. The online support for this book is huge. Literally hundreds and hundreds of files, Ive downloaded just a few MP3s so far to play along with. What I’m getting at is that it’s not just a book because there is so much stuff online too. E. Adams.
