There's no denying that guitar is one of the coolest musical instruments on the planet. Okay, perhaps undeniably the coolest.

Luckily, Guitar Rhythm & Technique For Dummies makes your aspirations to play guitar like the pros attainable with loads of helpful step-by-step instruction on everything from mastering hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides to perfecting your picking--and beyond.
