What
Acoustic Guitar Teachers
Have to Say about
The Acoustic Guitar Method
"I’ve shown the book
to students and they jumped on it, even my beginners who are still
trying to be rock stars one string at a time. I also shared it with
some adult learners (not beginners) and they indicated it was much
better than what they started with. I’m going to recommend the Method
to the shop I frequent…"
—Skip
Good, El Cajon, CA
"An excellent method!
Engaging musical examples combined with uncommon sense exercises
(written from the perspective of the beginner’s mind) provide for
and encourage a painless learning experience. The acoustic guitar
has a new diplomatic handbook in David Hamburger’s text!"
—Michael
Millham, Adjunct Instructor of Guitar, Gonzaga University,
Spokane, WA
"This method does
an excellent job of introducing students to basics and fundamental
playing styles. Offered in an easy-to-use format, I found the students
using this method could enjoy success quickly in playing songs,
thus keeping their motivation to practice at a high level of enthusiasm."
—Steve
Gilmore, Wheatland, WY
"A well put together
method which offers a non-stodgy, musical, fun approach. It gets
you playing right away and offers a historical/musical perspective
with its ‘Essential Listening’ sidebars. Very useful!"
—Edward Max Schang, Sharon, PA
"A real quality and
fun method for beginning students..."
—David
Smart, Olathe, KS
"The Guitar Method
series places needed emphasis on fundamental strumming techniques
that are overlooked by many ‘how-to’ books."
—Mike
Porter, Orange, TX
"The Acoustic
Guitar Method Book One is very thorough, helping the student
step-by-step with the process of learning acoustic guitar. My students
that are learning folk/roots music love this method and tell me
it’s fun for learning guitar."
—Rae
Borough, Seattle, WA
"A fresh, fun approach.
The tab is a great addition."
—Michael
Herman, Gilbon, NY
"This is a great
way to start playing guitar…"
—Jon
Kunkle, Mt. Wolf, PA
"What
better way to learn guitar than with American roots music!"
—Philip
J. Mancini, Old Forge, PA
"...I had been looking
for a structured method which would be easily-understood and easily-taught,
providing students with necessary fundamentals, and still be fun
to use. The Acoustic Guitar Method seems to fulfill all these
objectives, offering students a very good introduction to American
folk music."
—Bob
Margell, Kingsland, Texas
"The new Acoustic
Guitar Method is a breath of fresh air! Unique and well-done.
I intend to make full use of it in my lesson program."
—John
Mahardy, Cleveland, NY
"I’ve
been getting great feedback from my adult students, especially regarding
the association between reading tab and note notation. David Hamburger’s
sensible approach to chord changing is also excellent. He guides
students through practical exercises and activities that successfully
build chord changing skills."
—Paul
Biondi, Bellmore, NY
"This book has worked better than I imagined. And the price
is terrific. I have recommended it to fellow teachers."
—Dianne
Sutton, Laurens, South Carolina
"Acoustic Guitar Method brings a fresh, fun approach to beginning
guitar. By focusing on traditional American roots songs, students
quickly learn fundamental techniques while also getting an insight
to where much of today's music came from. Highly recommended!"
—Dave
Mullany, Oregon
"I have just
started using The Acoustic Guitar Method and it is really
great…I can now stop making up my own system. Having the CD available
is a really big plus."
—Greer
Streetman, Lexington, Kentucky
"I appreciate
your use of straightforward teaching techniques and good American
folk music!"
—Lee
Quick, New Orleans, Louisiana
"The Acoustic
Guitar Method, Book One gives a wonderful introduction to playing
guitar and American roots music at the same time. It’s great not
only because it draws upon the traditions that all contemporary
guitar styles are based upon but it also gets folks playing songs
ASAP. I like the format and pace as well as the listening suggestions."
—Quinn Fitzpatrick, Seattle, Washington
