Lyle Brewer, Faculty at Berklee College of Music: If you’re interested in learning how to play guitar in a way that would get you ready for music school or if you’re a guitar teacher looking for a book for your students, I can’t recommend The Guitar Lesson Companion enough.

Mark Goldenberg, guitarist/composer/producer: The Guitar Lesson Companion is so well put together and has become an invaluable aid for getting my students to learn to read notes, decipher written rhythms, and to learn the entire fretboard.

La Femme Pendu, Student: After playing guitar for more than half of my life, no methodology has had a greater impact on my technique than Susan's approach. Her well-rounded blend of theory and practice has transformed my relationship to the fretboard and filled the gaps in my education. Cannot recommend enough for the beginner and advanced alike.

James Erickson, Guitar Instructor at Long Island University, New York: As a guitar teacher, one of my long-standing issues has been finding a complete method to get students started on a path that balances sight reading and theory. Finally, after years of selecting from several method books, I now have a complete source for my students.

Jonathan Newkirk, Student: Susan is a dedicated music instructor who really cares about her students. Her curriculum provides the fundamentals that allow you to play ANY style of music.

Jonathan "Dr. Capital" Patterson, DMA: Former college music professor: University of Southern California, University of North Texas, Musicians Institute: Susan Palmer’s book solves all my materials and organization problems and lets me focus on actually teaching.
