About the Book

Music stores, bookstores and internet music sites will find this the most useful method ever created. More than 120 topics are explored.

The guitar method is geared for the beginner, intermediate and advanced musician with something special for all guitarists. Sharing inside tips and shortcuts to enhance musical understanding and performance has never been made so understandable for both the novice and professional guitarist. The text is written to be useful in self teaching, private lessons or classroom application. The text is intended to be readable from 24 inches to accommodate the use of a music stand. Chord charts for regular positions are included and more advanced positions are charted with pictures and hand/fingering charts.

Special elements include how to master musical notation, the Grand staff, time signatures, key signatures, sharps and flats, repeat signs, chord gender identification, lead patterns for Major & minor, fingerpicking patterns with an extensive Glossary which defines musical terms, lending another educational highlight to the text. Special attention to understanding musical terms is reinforced with underlined type.

The comprehensive approach fills a void in the absence of a method covering topics for the beginner, intermediate and advanced guitar player. The guitar method is written to assist people with the enjoyment of playing guitar. It is not necessary to read music to understand the information. The book is written by a guitarist for the guitarist.
