Is the beginning stage of learning the guitar proving to be a frustrating experience? Do you lack songs which you can play from start to finish? Do the ones that you can play all the way through not sound much like their originalversions? I have been teaching these pieces to my beginner students for quite some time now and the success rate has been remarkable. Most methods start by having the student slowly move back and forth between basic chords usingonly down strokes playing chords one note at a time to make sure all the notes ring clear. This book offers something much different—playing music! The pieces are designed to target trouble areas often experienced by beginners ofthe instrument: arching the fingers enough in order to let all the notes of a chord ring clearly. Rather than just droning on through a series of chords musical patterns are created so that as you learn proper technique you’realso playing something musical. The results have been better than expected. Focusing on figures that demand proper technique and some of the most common strumming patterns found in popular music many of my students are able toexecute beginner and intermediate level songs within a few weeks of picking up the instrument rather than a few months. Additionally the dreaded F chord or root 6 major barre chord often rings clearly with all 6 notes beingheard upon the first attempt. This book will help you achieve your guitar related goals quickly more efficiently and most importantly more enjoyably. Includes access to online video.
