It's been said that all you need to write a hit song is "three chords and the truth." This book is a simple explanation of those three chords (commonly known as I, IV and V) and a practical application of that knowledge to 10 or 12 easy songs you can fake.

Craig Canon from http://5minuteguitarlessons.com takes you through the simple music theory behind I, IV and V, and gives you a short explanation of how to play each song. A simple chord chart showing I, IV and V chords in each key is included toward the end, with links to simple video guitar lessons that can reinforce some of the bare-bones basics of how to play a guitar for the brand new player.
