This is totally my oppinion, but you really shouldn't learn from books if you have a guitar instructor. It's really not the best way to learn. Cause I think it's better if you can learn by ear and sight. You need to know how to read music and everything, but you should be able to memorize songs easily. I don't know it's all very hard to explain. But I know if my guitar instructor handed me a book I'd be pissed. I mean have you even learned any chords yet. Or are you doing row, row, row your boat.
