David Mead got the idea for this book from the Canadian Air Force, who published a ten-minute-a-day physical fitness schedule for modern times. The book recognised that many people needed to exercise but had little time to spare, so it offered a regime that would bring about a good level of fitness from a time investment of only ten minutes a day. The same obstacle stands before countless guitar students. Work, kids, commuting, washing up - all come before guitar practice. 10 Minute Guitar Workout is the solution for anyone wanting to develop their guitar skills without sacrificing their precious time. In a Series of graduated exercises designed specifically to enhance technique rapidly and painlessly, and with the support of a full-length audio CD, it's now possible for guitar students to practise their new-found skills in the shortest possible time and still achieve satisfying results.
