As longtime music teachers, we’ve tried many different approaches to help absolute beginners learn to play an instrument. We spent over twenty years teaching adult acoustic guitar lessons and adult electric guitar lessons, using classical guitar and contemporary guitar books to develop the best practice strategies for guitar technique.

In 2023 we changed our studio name to Campfire Music Collective to better reflect our mission to bring music back into daily life. Along with ditching our old name, Boise Music Lessons, we also decided to ditch our dependence on guitar method books!

Instead, we created our own musical curriculum combining our extensive knowledge of approachable music theory, current neuroscience research, and comprehensive guitar technique; we teach people how to jam with others and play popular songs on the guitar!

Nowadays, we much prefer our engaging and immersive Song Cycle Method featuring online tutorials, 1:1 lessons, and group campfires over all other approaches to learning an instrument.

That said, if you’re looking to teach yourself to play the guitar, sometimes a guitar method book can be a valuable resource. We thought we’d share some of our favorite guitar books* that we discovered over decades of teaching acoustic guitar and electric guitar to help you get started learning the guitar!
