Who has the time or patience to learn how to play the guitar by spending countless hours practicing chord progressions or strumming Mary Had a Little Lamb? Beginning guitarists want to jump right in and play the music they love. Finally, here's a book that let's them do just that! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Rock Guitar Songsis a different kind of song book. Sure, it may look like other song books on the music shelf. After all, it contains some really great rock guitar songs from some of the best classic and contemporary artists. But what makes it unique is its ability to help beginning guitar players actually play the music by including simplified arrangements of the songs and guiding them with technique tips that are scattered throughout the songs. So readers get Van Halen's Panama, but without the mind-numbing Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, and they learn how to play Led Zeppelin, but without all of the complicated riffs that intimidate most beginners.
