Overview

This book is perfect for beginners who wish to learn on their own or for teachers who want a solid lesson book for their students, covering many aspects of playing guitar up to an intermediate level. This book is meant to show you how to play or create the songs you wish to play, not by just learning a few predetermined songs but instead by focusing on how the guitar is used for an endless number of songs and styles. Audio is available at https: //allaboutguitarbooks.com There are basically four large sections: reading music, playing chords, guitar exercises, and finally scales and solos. The table of contents shows dotted lines for the start of these sections. The sections of this book are set up in a way that gives students (or teachers) the ability to choose different starting points in the book and complete sections in the desired order. For example, the reading music section can begin after the chords section. Although reading music is important in achieving a deeper understanding of music, and the topic is covered in this book, some may wish to put it off for a bit, especially if you are an adult learning on your own. Playing the guitar is unique in that reading music is not necessary to begin playing the instrument. It doesn't take long to get the guitar to sound good! Of course, everyone knows it takes practice, but the guitar is a physical instrument, and the hand and the muscles and tendons that control the fingers need to be in good shape. One of the most difficult things to do when starting to play guitar is chord changing. Many common playing problems, like chord changing, are solved through repetition and exercises. The exercises in this book are designed to make this journey much easier and more enjoyable! Tablature is shown and used in this book. Tablature makes learning popular songs easy by allowing you to literally play by numbers. Having a working knowledge of both reading music and tablature gives any student a big advantage. In this book: - Chords and progressions - Easy approach to reading music - Strumming and rhythm - Many guitar exercises - Tablature and diagrams - Learn how to use scales - Easy-to-understand music theory - Soloing and Improvisation - Various playing techniques - Helpful playing tips throughout
