The Creative Guitarist - Volume One

Volume One of the Creative Guitarist book series establishes a foundation of guitar fundamentals by applying various playing techniques (fingerstyle, rhythm, and soloing) to various styles of music. Music theory essentials (songwriting, improvisation, etc.) are also featured, which will help aspiring guitarists become more self-sufficient in teaching themselves, communicating with other musicians, and writing their own music. Over 70 professionally-designed lessons are arranged with a level-to-level approach for each chapter. Practice along with lessons on your PC or smartphone with online audio and video examples. All songs and progressions include accompanying 'Performance Notes', which provide a detailed, step-by-step approach to learning each arrangement. Additional chapters include guitar maintenance, guitar construction, and how to purchase new and used guitars. Also an excellent resource for instructors who want to provide their students with an organized yet flexible program of guitar instruction.
