The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teacher's aid, it can also be used for independent study. Topics like posture, tuning and phrasing are notprescribed, being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice, this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being a measured and progressivetutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student. Basic right-hand technique is the foundation of the early part of Book One. The ability to strike the string effectively and produce a clear soundis paramount. Left-hand technique is then addressed with notes on the top three strings in first position. Use of the thumb is also covered briefly. Light relief comes in the form of small amounts of glissando and percussive work.Dynamics are then introduced onto a stable base of notes, followed by accidentals (key of G). This all-color book is rounded off with chords and arpeggios, giving the student a chance to 'swap seats' with the teacher and play therole of accompanist. Elsewhere the teacher may accompany the pupil with the suggested chords, either playing the root note or the full voicings as notated. A daily practice session for the completion of Book One, extra repertoireand other helpful information are all available at www.thebeginnerguitarist.com.

For Classical Guitar. Par SCHUETT LAUDON. This book will prove to be a treasure trove to any aspiring lutenist or afficionado of the lute and early music. Instead of attempting to create a comprehensive lute method, the first section covers topics that students often ignore, while the second offers a fresh repertoire of newly revised and edited original music for the intermediate or advanced player. On a broader scale, vocalists and students of any instrument would do well to take note of the book?s musical and interpretive concepts.The author not only offers his own insights to technique and performance, but also provides a glossary of period musical vocabulary and includes comments on general musicianship from authentic Renaissance and Baroque resources. These include John and Robert Dowland, Jean-Baptiste Besard, Nicolas Vallet, Thomas Mace, and other historic lutenists and theorists. If early music specialist Laudon Schuett had been born during the Renaissance, he would have been the court lutenist and possibly the jester in some kingdom or principality.Written in French tablature for the 6-course Renaissance lute and in standard notation for the classic guitar with the 3rd string lowered to F#, the author provides 30 original compositions in the contrapuntal polyphonic style characteristic of the 16th and early 17th centuries. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Méthode / Guitare Classique
