Learn and train the bare bone essentials (some call it "the fundamentals": ear, time feel, technique/accuracy, basic theory, fret board memorization, etc.) that every aspiring (and seasoned) guitarist should conquer towards higher levels of mastery, under the guidance of Vreny Van Elslande, who is one of the most sought-after guitar teachers in Los Angeles. This book lays that musical foundation, then builds further into more advanced areas of guitarmanship, so the veteran guitarists can get a lot out of it too.

"Guitar Essentials" is jam-packed with practical exercises and drills that produce the best, fastest, strongest results. The lessons are snapshots from the author's curriculum, which helped his students go from complete beginner to professional, full income earning musician in three years or less. The book comes with a ton of Bonus Freebies, including a collection of practice backing tracks, extra bonus chapters, and more. If you are a complete beginner who is only looking to learn beginner chords and learn songs, then this book is not for you. If you are however a complete beginner who would like to learn more about theory, and develop your ear, and get your timing and your technique happening, then you can get a lot out of this book too. Some of the material in the book will be too easy for higher intermediate or advanced players, and some of it will be too challenging for complete beginners or lower intermediate players. However: even accomplished, advanced guitarists will find tricks, soloing ideas and harmonic concepts that will get them excited and that they more than likely will not know about yet.
