Progressive Guitar Method.......2006-12-27
Both the beginner book and the supplement do a great job. Unlike some of the other instruction books I own, the Progressive books actually start you at the beginning.
The included DVD forces you to learn to read music, a real plus in my opinion.
There may be other better beginner instruction methods out there, but I haven't found them yet.
Book Description
Learn to use the entire fretboard with the Incredible Scale Finder! This book contains more than 1,300 scale diagrams for the most important 17 scale types, including major and minor scales, pentatonics, the seven major modes, diminished, melodic minor, harmonic minor, and more - in all 12 keys! Basic scale theory is also presented to help you apply these colorful sounds in your own music.
Customer Reviews:
excellent and cheap!!.......2007-08-01
this book is perfect for learning scale positions-yes it shows the same scales in different keys, but that does not make it less helpful and its only 7 dollars. the thing i like best though is that it also shows a chart for what chords are included in what key (which i havent seen anywhere else) and what scales work best with this key. should help with composing, practising in general, obviously learning your scales, and figuring out songs on your own rather than having to buy sheet music.
Kinda redundant........2004-06-12
Well, this book had a lot of potential. But it kinda fell flat. What the problem is, is that it shows you the same scales in every key. As a guitarist, i only need to SEE the scale in one position, then i can play it in any key. So seeing it moved up one fret on the neck in another section is entirely useless. It might be good for starting out, but i'd reccomend something that 1) Shows you the way the scale is constructed, 2)does not show the same scale over and over and 3)has A variety of scales. This book tells you the 7 modes, major and minor pentatonic, and not a whole lot else.

I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD: A COVENANT FOR OUR CHILDREN (Brand Nu Words February 2007) takes the reader on a lyrical journey leading to a child'ss understanding of the fundamental principles set forth in the New York Times bestselling book, THE

Putting it in Action.......2007-05-02
So often we hear of various theories behind the problems our communities and society face. Unfortunately, many of these theories never seem to make the leap from theory to practice. I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD is a wonderful book that seeks to operationalize Tavis Smiley's Covenant with Black America for even the youngest members of our society. Author Charisse Carney-Nunes uses a poetic style to present the overall themes of the covenant and then follows up with general information about the Covenant with Black America. In addition, she provides easy to understand explanations of the various covenant issues as well as examples of how children and families can put the issues into action. For example, the "Covenant issue" Strengthening the family includes suggestions such as being honest, eating dinner as a family, and living the life you dream.
Mixed media illustrations really add to the depth of I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD. By including artwork as well as photographs, the artwork catches the attention of readers and draws them in. The poetic language is fun, engaging, and easy to remember. The explanation of the covenant is done especially well and really breaks down complex concepts into language children can understand. Suggested activities at the end of each section not only help children understand the concepts in concrete terms, but also provide ideas for moving the theories into practice that can easily be accomplished. I DREAM FOR YOU A WORLD is a book that should be in every child's library, but especially in the libraries of African-merican children.

An important lesson to parents.......2007-03-27
Like Carney-Nunes' previous book Nappy, I Dream a World for You is a beautifully illustrated, thoughtfully constructed book designed to teach African American children to love and value themselves. What I love most about this book, however, is its message to the parents. I Dream a World for You tells of the world parents have the right to dream for their children, and I hope inspires and empowers us to seek to create that world. Carney-Nunes continues to write what both children and their parents most need to hear.
Must be on every child's bookshelf.......2007-02-14
This is a wonderfully creative book, and a must read for all young children. Whether a pre-reader or a fluent early reader, children will love this book. It introduces a set of values to children that will hold them in good stead for a lifetime. Most important, my kid loves it!

The perfect first space book for those almost-readers, There's No Place Like Space takes us on a whirlwind tour of our solar system, with a few constellations thrown in for good measure. Cat in the Hat (along with beloved Thing One and Thing Two) straps on his space suit and rhymes his way among the nine planets, presenting important facts along the way. Where else could your preschooler learn phonics and astronomy at same time? "A planet can have satellites that surround it. Uranus has lots of these objects around it" is just one example. This is a fine addition to the library of any young stargazer--few books are written with this many facts furnished in such an easy-reading manner. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner
Book Description
Blast off for educational fun! Beginning readers and budding astronomers are launched via Seussian sorcery on a wild trip to visit the nine planets in our solar system along with the Cat in the Hat, Thing One, Thing Two, and Dick and Sally.

There's No Place Like Space.......2007-10-03
There's So Place Like Space is a great book for toddlers who are interested in space. Not too complicated but good for learning a few interesting facts about our planets. Written with the rhyme of Dr. Seuss.
Excellent introductory book to Planets.......2007-09-25
I had not realized the effectiveness of this book until my 4 year old started making up songs about the planets, their colors, and their place in space. As I listened to his little songs he sang as he was playing, I realized his information, or lyrics, came from what he learned in this book. Entertaining, fun, educational. You can't go wrong with this rhyming introduction and imaginary travel through space.
Science made easy and enjoyable.......2007-03-09
My 2 1/2 year old daughter and 3 year old niece love this book. It gives enough information about the planets and solar system to be educational, but the author also uses classic Seuss elements of rhyming and silliness to keep the kids sustained in attention and entertained. I highly recommend this to any young solar system fans!!
SUPER book for a preschool class.......2006-10-07
I had to go to the bookstore last night to purchase a new book to read to the preschool class I teach. I can say without a doubt this was enjoyed by ALL the children. SO easy to read and accurate too :) They all enjoyed it and I am VERY happy to add this to my book collection!!
Pre-Schooler Likes Better Than Me and My Place in Space.......2006-01-22
We purchased this and Me and My Place in Space for our pre-schooler. While the other book is more scientifically accurate (showing rings around Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus) this book was more engaging for our little one. She sits still while I read every page. The other book is perhaps better for older, more sophisticated readers.

Book Description
Shimmering fragments of poetry, fiction, fable, and essay reflect a kaleidoscopic vision of burgeoning adulthood as seen through the eyes of the young protagonists in El año de nuestra revolución, the Spanish-language edition of Judith Ortiz Cofer's award-winning collection, The Year of Our Revolution.
Among the memorable heroines to emerge from this landmark collection is María Elenita, aka Mary Ellen. As she embarks upon the journey from innocent adolescence to young womanhood, her imagination moves from thoughts of school and Supergirl to dreams of rock music, rebellion and first love. Donning the uniform of the opposition— tie-dyed T-shirts, Indian headbands and noisy jewelry with the aroma of patchouli incense wafting about her, Mary Ellen mounts her season of insurgency during which she awakens to sensuality with her "boy-poet" Gerald and the "soldier-boy" Pito. Ultimately she learns the high price to be paid for matters of the heart.
In a work suitable for mature older teens and young adults, Ortiz Cofer crystallizes what María Elenita's saddened Mamá calls "the worst year in the history of parents and children . . . the year of our revolution."
