I personally prefer the classical emphasis of the Idiot's Guide alternative. Embrace it if that's what'll motivate you. Not to make fun of the stereotype, but this is for the ol' fast and lazy American approach. Most techniques are relevant to rock and country-techniques for less-popular genres were left out or briefly and ineffectively mentioned in a later chapters on folk, classical, and jazz. Music notation is in the appendix rather than the main book-standard notation is often seem as an annoying obstacle on the way to actually playing. It's relatively understandable and mostly focused on strumming songs in popular American and British rock and country music, which is likely what the average American beginner guitar player wants in their learning experience. Guitar For Dummies seems to be designed with the same audience in mind as most YouTube beginner guitar tutorials. Reading them one after the other makes it hard to review them beyond comparing and contrasting. Admittedly, I may have rounded up this rating if I didn't read The Idiot's Guide to Guitar Playing first.
