Description
Description
This book compiles effective guitar practice methods devised by an author with experience performing and teaching in a variety of genres, including blues, rock, jazz, bossa nova, and classical. Even guitarists with longstanding bad habits can correct their form by working through this book, enabling them to play with good rhythm and feel. Ultimately, you'll master the entire fretboard in all 12 keys and be able to improvise in a variety of genres.
This book is written in classical guitar notation, without tablature, to help you overcome your fear of staff notation. It may be a little difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you'll find yourself becoming familiar with staff notation before you know it. Being able to read staff notation will allow you to advance into a wider world of music.
