"Re: Re: Infinite Guitar"
Although I think your negative comments are unwarranted (considering the fact that out of the hundreds of people who have purchased it, the only unflattering comment has been yours), I am willing to admit that the book may not be for everyone. If you do not have a tiny amount of experience playing the guitar, it may feel like sailing across the Pacific Ocean in a row boat. I also think that if you are willing to say that something "sucks" you should also have balls enough to sign your name to the comment. Or maybe your comment has nothing to do with the book?

"Infinite Guitar - Wow!"
I've played guitar for over 30 years and have worked through a lot of guitar books but nothing I've come across comes close to Chris Jurgensen's achievement with this book.
He has a gift of presenting complex concepts in a very acessible way that even a guitar player can understand -:)
The book presents the material in a non-linear way that lets me learn a few concepts, practice a few exercises and then jump to another part of the book to learn some complimentary concepts. For example I worked on some of the triad exercises and when I needed a change of pace I checked out the material on scales and it helped me understand the triads better and also... More >

"Infinate Guitar - the only guitar book you'll need for a very long time"
This TRULY IS an infanite road map to playing contemporary guitar. This book covers many many important areas such as modes of the major and melodic minore scale, developing a monsterous chord vocabulary, voice leading, sight reading, ear training, harmony, and much more. Click on "Preview Book" under picture of the book cover to read see it's table of contents. All this information is laid out in a very understandable way. It's as if Chris is sitting down right in front of you teaching you this stuff through a casual private lesson. It's very comprehendable - this means its NOT written using a bunch of guitar... More >

"Re: Infinite Guitar"
the infinite guitar sucks. It does not explain things well...and i'm wasting my money!!!
"THE guitar resource to have"
You would think after buying 30 or so books on guitar that I would have enough and never need another book- well I'd convinced my wife of that at least, but I tell you, I think I've truly found the one book I'd have on a deserted island with my guitar for the rest of my life.
First of all, in case you haven't noticed with Chris's online lessons, he has a way of explaining some of the trickiest concepts on the guitar in a way that clicks immediately and gets you applying it to your playing as fast as possible. I've probably looked at over 100 online lessons in the past 10 years, and I've never found any as good as the ones he post for free. I guess... More >
