Guitar Basics: A Landmark Guitar Method for Individual and Group Learning.: A Landmark Guitar Method for Individual and Group Learning, Book

Product Information

The book is a culmination of so many popular guitar and teaching techniques from around the world, and it contains 3 versions. The first part talks about the basics such as tuning, musical staff, basic chords and also contains over 80 songs which are super fun if you’re starting out. Book 2 covers a little more complex stuff (which is where you’ll have all the fun) like fingerstyle playing, syncopations, some more interesting, complex chords, etc. Book 3 covers a few advanced techniques like major and minor pentatonic scales, shapes which you can move along the fretboard, techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs. As instrumentalists, we go through hours, days, months, and years of practice to get to a point we’ve been dreaming of reaching. And to get there you have to be habituated to the right way of practicing. A lot of times, whether you are a beginner player, or an advanced guy you’re gonna be in phases where you’ve not even realized you’ve been going about your routines the wrong way. You will end up learning a lot about playing or chord vocabulary, but also about the parts of a guitar, its anatomy, guitar electronics, etc. It talks a lot about recording, the evolution of technology from the ’90s as well (always good to know a little bit of history). This is not specifically suited for guitarists who want to go in-depth with their study of music theory and take their playing to more complex avenues, but meant more for students who are just starting out and want to just play for fun, for personal enrichment. This book lives up to its title!

Dan Elwine is a super popular, widely respected guitar luthier, repairman, and guitar builder. He is a pioneer and an inspiration to many luthiers all around the world. Vai, despite being a lover of music theory, believes that it is not to be solely stressed upon, rather to be an effective musician you have to go deep into your creative, inspired space, and express it with zero excuses. This is one of the most popular guitar books for beginners and is often recommended by professional musicians. In my opinion, it is a solid guitar book for beginners who are just starting out on the acoustic or electric guitar, especially for those of you who are under the age of 20!This book, published by Berklee School of Music, in 1999, is more of a technical book. As it is from a very renowned music school, the methods are about serious musicianship. It is not too bad to learn how to read sheet music, right? Playing notes that are kept right in front of you, will only make you a better instrument player and will also help you fit into much more complicated musical scenarios. Bert Casey has been a performer for over 35 years and plays a bunch of instruments like acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukelele, keyboards. He has used this sea of experience to author 8 teaching books. He’s revolutionary when it comes to instructional courses!

This is a book that has been voted by The Rolling Stones magazine as one of the top 3 guitar books for beginners. There’s a reason for that because every aspect of it has been specially designed and written for absolute beginners. It is also one of the more affordable books out there. It takes you step by step through the basics of rhythm guitar and lead guitar playing.
