So I remember my brother lending me a simple easy basic book to learning guitar earlier this year just a few months before i came to GT that I though was cool . Anyways he knows that my progress has been good and that I am having a blast .

So this year for Christmas he surprised me with buying me a series called " The Hal Leonard Guitar book Method Complete Edition which also comes the cd's . And while I like the gift I find reading music symbols and getting even a basic understanding of measures and stuff really hard to grasp .

I know my brother told me if I was seriously considering becoming a musician that I would have to know this stuff and better to start early then much later on .

So here I am definitely interested in becoming a musician and no doubt these books are great but I'm sort at the cross roads on what to do . I love guitar tricks and having a blast learning more and more each day but I also don't want to this present to go to waste considering my mom told me it was hard to track down these books .
