Learn to Play Guitar: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners to Intermediate Players Gareth Evans

Do you want a Guitar Method book that gives you a good foundation by explaining the different fundamentals in an integrated way?

With over 180 photographic examples, illustrations and purpose made diagrams Learn to Play Guitar is designed to be comprehensive and clear. To get you straight into playing music, numbers have been added underneath the guitar tablature to assist with the rhythm (tablature on its own doesn?t indicate rhythm). Later on, the rhythmical aspect of conventional music notation is covered so you can use it in conjunction with tablature. Music theory basics are explained in terms of the fret-board and reinforced by musical pieces in various styles to make the learning process practical and enjoyable. This guitar book includes 42 downloadable mp3 tracks of full band demo track and backing track with the guitar removed to play over.

Learn to Play Guitar bridges the gaps explaining guitar techniques that can be taken for granted by more experienced guitar players. Rhythm guitar is approached with changing between chords and strumming presented as separate subjects initially. They are then brought together starting basic and getting more advanced until there is a rhythm guitar musical piece to play. Other subjects include fret-board layout, basic chord construction, power chords, barre chords, how to string a guitar, how to practise guitar, palm muting and basic lead guitar techniques.
