I am still debating whether or not to even get a book now that I found this wonderful website and forum! (all my stupid questions have been answered so quickly and kindly :) ) But if I decide to, does anyone have any suggestions? I would like something that is easy to read for absolute beginner's, but not one that I will grow out of in a short time...
Any suggestions?

I tried a few & really liked the FastTrack Guitar Method Book 1

No matter what you wind up getting, I'd suggest you try to get one that comes with a CD so you can hear what you're trying to play. It really helped me. I had a couple of books without CDs and was lost on any songs I didn't already know.

Best of luck!!!!

:wink: There is a web site called Guitar Secrets at http://www.guitarsecrets.com which has some free lessons and a CD that you can buy. I have the CD which is excellent also the free lessons are good cd has drum tracks and stuff on it so you can lead over a recording or just the oppisite and have drums playing along. Very good cd and web site I highly recommend it alot of info covered, They also recommend other guitar links and guitar noise is one of them. Check it out.

:D

I'm really enjoying Troy Stetina's TOTAL ROCK.

Yeah, Stetina has a great rep in music publishing. I also like a bunch of books from Alfred Publishing. Man, there are so many, Acoustic Guitar, Rock Guitar, Jazz Guitar, Blues Guitar. Each of those consists of three volumes, each of those with a CD. Great basic info and plenty of musical examples.
