Highly recommend this method
My son has studied guitar for the past 3 years. He finds the Alfred’s Basic Method challenges him and allows him to progress in his playing.. The level 2 book continues to introduce new notes, chords and scales. There are solos, duets and accompaniments. Alfred is noted for being a fast paced and complete teaching method. I would have to agree with that assessment. My son started playing young so his teacher started with 2 more basic methods. This method continues to challenge my son and move him forward in his guitar playing ability.

Serious Learning Only
I am relearning the Guitar after a 30 year break. I worked through the first book in this series and am now on the second. 30 years ago I didn’t pay much attention to learning the actual music I just memorized chords and played by ear. These books are excellent for learning all aspects of the method of playing guitar. It is a slower and harder process than just learning Guitar Tab but it is worth it if you have the time. I am actually doing both and I find that what I have picked up in the Alfred’s book helps incredibly even when playing from Tab.

Great if you are able to read sheet music
I would simply advise people 1) Be careful with your clicks 2) Make a copy of your order at checkout. I was going to purchase Alfred’s Book 1 because I’m a complete newbie to guitar. The “bundled offer” included a Book 2 and a Book 1 & 2. Wow, two volumes in one, a no-brainer right? So that’s what I thought I ‘clicked’ to put in my cart. Yesterday I received Book 2 which is basically a book of sheet music with minimal instructions. A perfectly good book for people who knows how to read music, but not much use to someone lacking basic skills. The book arrived in perfect condition and of acceptable quality for the low cost.

Alfred’s is a great way to learn
I have enjoyed using this method for learning guitar. It would be best to have a teacher, however I don’t have the schedule to allow learning at a set time. With Alfred’s books I have been able to slowly but surely progress on my own.

This is a great book. I’ve used it with many students
This is a great book. I’ve used it with many students; however, this appears to be a cheap reproduction. The stickers on the back are pictures of stickers. The cover is not glossy like the original and the inside is all black and white with no color. Another student who ordered one for herself through Amazon got the same fake.

Challenging experience
I bought this book recommendation of my daughter’s guitar teacher. She is starting her fourth year of private guitar lessons (she’s 11) and has gone through the three youth manuals that were available. We got this one just before she left for summer vacation so she’d have something new to work on before she came back to lessons in the fall. Working through it on her own was definitely a challenge for her (she had difficulties playing with the CD, mainly because she couldn’t keep up and she was confused since some tracks have multiple parts being played and she didn’t realize she was only supposed to be playing one of them – she did not have a chance to see her teacher for any instruction after the book arrived) but she made great progress with it on her own during the summer. Upon her return, her teacher explained to her how to use the book along with the CD and she’s made great progress. It has helped her work on all facets of her playing – chords, rhythm, scales, melody, etc.

2-Teachers Approved
Bought this book for my son beginning drums back in May since it was recommended by his teacher, and now 6 months later, he’s still banging along in beat with the rhythms! We even had to switch teachers a couple months ago, and the second teacher liked this one so much, she’s now recommending it to other students.

Alfred’s Beginning Drumset Method
I decided I wanted to learn the drums so I sought out an instructor and this is the book he ask me to purchase. As the middle age student I found the book to be easy to read and follow. The DVD is helpful for the different views and listening to how the beat is supposed to sound. This book combined with a good instructor has been a great teaching tool.

Now to find a teacher to work with this book
as a struggling midlife crisis drumming student, it has been difficult finding “THE” one book from which to learn and reinforce “the basics” of drumming. After about a dozen purchases (or two), I found the Alfred Drumset Method Book.There are a LOT of methods for teaching drumming, and many methods for learning.I started drumming about 18 mos ago – about a year after my 10 year old son started snare drum classes in school – with a 90 year old semi-retired jazz drummer (father of a friend of mine – he still had 32 students up to July 2005 – retired due to a stroke but he still helps me out occasionally when I visit) and his methods were great, but the books he used were upwards of 60 years old (Roy Burns’ Elementary Drum Method, Joel Rothman’s Rolls Rolls Rolls, Ted Reed’s Progressive Steps to Syncopation, Stone’s Stick control), heavy on rudiments, marching rhythms, and he’d play vibes while I and my son took turns playing rock, shuffle and jazz grooves w/ him. I’ve heard his students over the years and his methods worked, but as an adult, physician, post-post graduate I was looking for another method outside of the way he was presenting it to me.What works about the Alfred book for me is this: simple 4/4 rock grooves, introductions of simple progressive bass,snare, tom changes around the set which reinforces independence and fills, a visual and kinesthetic introduction to fills and 4 bar riffs and a similar treatment of jazz rhythms. It’s done in a way that builds rapidly to a finished product where learning the components separately wasn’t giving me the satisfaction I was looking for. Kind of like learning how to drive by being given a five minute review of the controls and then driving around a parking lot versus taking an auto mechanics course for six months before seeing what a finished car looks and feels like.Somehow this makes sense to me where “Drumming for the Complete Idiot” and similar books didn’t work. Or maybe it was torturing myself with those other books for so long that now with the Alfred Method, it all comes together. My son and I are playing together across the basement (he has his set, I have mine) and learning from each other. When he needs books, I’ve got them, and he uses the Alfred book too, but it’s time to find another teacher for one on one.The Alfred Drumset Method, a good investment. But unless you’re a real self-starter, find a teacher who will work with you with it.

Poor Kindle Version with no Sound Files or Links
This review is for the kindle version of the book – and the review I wish I’d read before I purchased this book. This is a facsimile edition, and none of the pages are dynamic or interactive. Even the table of contents is just a picture of the text from the book. There are no links, there are no sound files for listening to the sound examples, and very little instruction in the text of the book or explanations of the concepts. You need a teacher to know what to do, because the book does not explain things beyond a sentence or two. This book is NOT for a self-learner trying to learn how to play a drum set. This same book thru iBooks is dynamic and at least has has all of the sound files, and costs $7.99 from iTunes. I wish I’d known that earlier, because I don’t want to buy this lame instruction book twice, or pay $10.99 for the CD only thru Amazon in order to hear the sound examples of the lessons. This kindle version is a hack job, and when did they write this and take the photos — 1982? Skip this book and get The Complete Idiots Guide which I am ordering soon.

Tip –
You MUST have these books and CDs if you are serious about learning the Drumset!
I use Alfred’s Drumset Books as the textbooks in the drumset courses I teach at our local music school. The books are well written, and the accompanying CDs (which can be ordered separately) contain clearly-recorded examples of every chart in the book. These books and CDs are a MUST for any aspiring student of drumset percussion!

I’m a new learner, my instructor told me to get this book. It has lots of great exercises, definitely a great way to learn. This book is incorporated with a CD, but it doesn’t come with it. I truly think everyone should not only get the book but also the CD, specially when learning the drum fills, timely is everything, the CD really really helps.

Excellent Sequence of Material, Great for Beginner and Intermediate Drummers
I have been teaching private drum lessons for many years. I have settled on this one for almost all of my beginner drum students, and here is why:-Excellent pics of how to hold the drum sticks, how to play heel-up or heel-down on the bass drum and hi-hat;-Clear description with pictures of the parts of a drum set;-Excelllent, clear isntructions throughout the book above and below the drum grooves and exercises;-Great songs to play along with, after learning the techniques needed to achieve this goal;-Book comes with CD if desired, which makes learning the grooves even faster for students without a private teacher;-Logical layout and sequence of techniques. *******This is my favourite and most important part of this book. It lays out the grooves and fills in an excellent sequence from simple to intermediate, to advanced level material.Many, many drum books that I have and have used or taught from are lacking in placing the information in a logical sequence.I recommend this book very highly for all drummers starting out, and for intermediate drummers looking to fill in the gaps before they move to an advanced level.

20 yrs teaching. This is one of the best intro to drumming books I’ve found. Does a great job building on each skill as it is learned. Mostly beats; the few fills it has are ‘meh’…but great for learning rock/pop beats.
