Guitropolis
An Adventure in Learning to Play Guitar
"Spectacular! A fun way to learn guitar!"

Welcome to Guitropolis
Where learning the guitar isn't just easy and fun - it's a city ordinance!
| 
| |
Transport yourself to another world - one where you enter a guitar novice
and exit a legend (or at least be able to read music, strum 96 chords,
play simple leads, and jam along with your favorite sheet music).
|
Get your gear at the Guitar Shack
| First stop: the Guitar Shack. Get started by learning about the different types of guitars,
how to care for them, and how to tune yours. But that's only the beginning...
|
Find notes on the fretboard with the Guitar Analysis Game
| Games, puzzles and general craziness are included in every lesson at no extra charge.
Drive through the city, load up the van, mix down in the studio, and more.
It's all so much fun you won't realize you're learning to play the guitar.
|
| Jam with the band! They back
you up while you play the songs and exercises-and they
won't eat your food.
|
Hang out backstage before you perform
|
Explore imaginative scenes including the coffee house, the recording studio,
and even the set of a late-night TV talk show. Meet Marv, the Megastore sales guy
(watch your wallet); Barry Fattracks, the owner of Dollar Records
(and many really ugly ties); and Slider (the mentally unstable studio engineer),
to name just a few

this book has sold over 3 million copies worldwide
