What People are Saying About Intuition Guitar Books
From browsing his site, I can see that Gareth from Intuition Guitar has received a lot of positive feedback from both professionals in the industry and students who have purchased his books. Here are a few reviews that stood out to me.
Review #1: Learn to Play Guitar Book
“I think this book is great. It covers all the stuff I teach, in a really clear but detailed way. I always find that different people take different amounts of theory to others, but this would be a great book to keep referring back to during lessons and song learning. It’s pretty much exactly how I would make a guitar tutor book.” – Kieran Wade, Guitar Tutor and Performer
Review #2: 3 Shape Fretboard Book
“A logical and thorough approach to understanding scales, intervals and arpeggios on the guitar. All related to the universal CAGED idea of fretboard layout. Plenty to study and apply to your playing.” – Hedley Timbs BA(Mus), Grad.Dip. Teaching
Review #3: Chords for Guitar Book
“Gareth Evan’s guitar chord book is one of the most thorough and in-depth books I have ever seen. If you’re armed with one of these books, you will have everything you will ever require to know all about chords.” – Tony Cox – Award winning Acoustic Guitarist
