Meet Author Troy Nelson

Since 2005, Troy has been publishing music lesson books and sheet music songbooks for every popular instrument, tapping into the talents of many authors and musicians. Troy, himself, is an author as well, writing more than 50 music lesson books and songbooks.

His philosophy on writing his books is simple: Give the reader what they want, which is music instruction that is both fun and easy to understand. This will keep them engaged and, in turn, make them a better guitarist in the shortest amount of time.

The former Editor-in-Chief of the popular Guitar One magazine, Nelson wrote his first book, Guitar Aerobics, shortly after leaving the publication in 2005. The title, which has become a #1 bestseller, has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide and, for over a decade, has remained one of Amazon's top picks for Guitar.
