| |
| Written by an expert music instructor, ACOUSTIC GUITAR STYLES is a basic introduction to traditional American guitar styles for the basic acoustic guitarist. After an opening chapter on guitar basics, the author takes the beginning player through old-time and bluegrass, country blues, alternating-bass fingerpicking and additional styles. Each chapter includes full musical examples and exercises in tablature and standard notation. Assuming a basic working knowledge of the instrument, this book will appeal to any beginning guitarist who wants to broaden his or her musical palette. This is an instruction manual that presents American guitar styles in a manner that is organized and progressive in terms of both musical concepts and physical skills. It relies on a small basic repertoire of songs and helps the beginning guitarist approach them in different ways. It also poses choices, and asks students to make their own decisions. In short, it asks students to do what real musicians do. |
