An affordable acoustic guitar instruction book packed with tips to help you learn to play!

I bought an acoustic guitar, but I don't know what kind of practice I should do. For such beginners, we have created a reasonable instruction book that allows you to practice while listening to the audio by ear. You can practice the know-how of acoustic guitar playing, which is difficult to understand from text alone, by actually checking the score and ears, so you will definitely improve!
You can get the audio not only on the CD but also on this book's website.

Please get it along with your first acoustic guitar and use it!
