I use various methods and books depending on the style, age, ability etc. I always keep my eye out for new books and open to suggestions. A few examples.

With younger guitar students , 6-9 yo, I usually start by using basic guitar methods such as Hal Leonard Essential elements or "Everybody's Guitar Method" and my own easy arrangements of popular songs before shifting to Parkening.
