Contents

Especially for beginners, some important questions play a big role: Which guitar suits me? What advantages does one have over another? And what types of guitars exist at all? Besides these fundamental facts, essential skills like stringing and tuning are also covered. What settings can you possibly make on your guitar to improve playability? Since this book is not only aimed at beginners, advanced musicians can also look up information again and again, for example about the choice of woods and finishes.
A large part of the guide is aimed at (future) owners of instruments with pickups: Here the selection of amplifiers and effects as well as their operation is shown in detail and clearly.

A Few Extras

A multi-page glossary with over 170 terms from A like "Active Pickup" to Z like "Rim" invites you to refresh and deepen your knowledge again and again. Many QR codes scattered throughout the book also link to videos that cover topics like "String Changing" in more detail.

Ring Binder with Ideal Size

Thanks to its DIN A5 size, the guide fits into almost any gig bag and is always with you. The musician-friendly ring binder format prevents pages from turning on their own. So it remains very comfortable to read even over several hours.
