Review: Definately NOT for a beginner. - I've seen it elsewhere in the reviews, and this statement is correct. If you're just starting out in guitar (less than 1 year experience), this is not the book for you. Ideally the guitarist reading this book should have at least a basic working knowledge of the 7 basic modes (and all the types of chords, scales, and associated arpeggios) , circle of 5ths, and alternate picking techniques. The book has a ton of great exercieses ( a LOT of chromatic runs) which will help your improve dexterity and 'cleanliness' in picking. A HUGE bonus is the CD that's included in the back with like 100 tracks, you can actually hear the examples in the book as they are supposed to sound. If you, as a guitarist, have been stuck in a rut, or are looking to delve into more exotic and cool song structures and such, definately check out this book! There is so much in this book. I think the best approach is to take it 1 week at a time, and cover a chapter per week. That's what I'm going to attempt! I myself have been a practicing guitarist since 1996. Kyle [URL] Review: John Petrucci has some really great advice. Its a must have - I have been playing for 30 years and even majored in Classical Guitar back in college. I played live pro and taught at a Music Store I owned for several years. Even with all of that under my belt, I am still learning and the advice and exercises in this book are invaluable. Start early and do it right. Learn to read music at least in the first position and follow the techniques and habits that John lays our in this book. I am going through it now and love the different exercises. There is so much to learn even if you had 2 lifetimes there would still be more to learn. This is great stuff. Thank you JP! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #416,730 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #826 in Guitars (Books) #1,246 in Rock Music (Books) #2,179 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 113 Reviews | ## Images ![Guitar World Presents John Petrucci's Wild Stringdom: Book & CD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dnwhvsknL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definately NOT for a beginner. *by K***Y on September 18, 2002* I've seen it elsewhere in the reviews, and this statement is correct.

Thank you JP! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for any instument *by T***D on March 3, 2009* i love this book/cd package. My playing ability is growing much faster since i started using it. The examples range from easy to pretty hard but with a metronome and practice everything is playable no matter your playing level. There's nothing too complicated except for the transcribed dream theater solos which are not on the cd. The cool thing is every exercise gives you ideas for navigating the fretboard,different scales, and keys. Once you learn an example, your encouraged to use your imagination and expand on it The book really opens up your creativity. You will need a metronome and patience. The book is motivational. ## Frequently Bought Together - Guitar World Presents John Petrucci's Wild Stringdom: Book & CD - John Petrucci -- Rock Discipline: Book & Online Audio - Guitar World Presents Steve Vai's Guitar Workout --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4175169-guitar-world-presents-john-petruccis-wild-stringdom-book-and-cd](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4175169-guitar-world-presents-john-petruccis-wild-stringdom-book-and-cd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
