MacBeth Serna has written four books and they are all great: Fretboard Theory I, Fretboard Theory II, Guitar Theory for Dummies and this book Guitar Rhythm & Techniques for Dummies. I picked up playing guitar at 37 with absolutely no musical experience. His books are the cornerstone on which I have based my self taught education of music theory and guitar. Because of his books, I feel that I am a more rounded guitar player with the full understanding of what I am doing theoretically and in practice.I highly recommend Desi Serna's books as well as his videos that correspond to each book.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Audio file retrival > ? Yes, but By Ronald R Rees Desi does a wonderful job and is very thorough in covering what most guitar instructors might ignore completely. My single most frustration is this doesn't come with a AUDIO CD for 53 MP-3 audio files. For the money you spend and the price for a CD it would be a GOLDEN Opportunity if it had been included. Yes, I'm a miserly SOB. Just my two cents. Does this book then deserve TWO less Stars...you're the judge. I give it a full 5 STAR rating otherwise. When I have doubts about music theory, this is where I go. The audio is down loadable but it is quite a chore when you want 53 files, and sorted someplace handy, for future use in an organized fashion. I'm thinking "CLOUD" for my future access and or Mobile Tablet, Phone, etc. Then there's the PC to deal with....this ends up being very time consuming. Question, when do you get time to actually practice? Mar 6, 2016
