METHOD:1
A Modern Guitar Manual
The long awaited, revolutionary approach to guitar instruction, the well known method finally codified. Thirty-five years of research and testing (illegal experiments) on thousands of students (lab rats) produces this quick no nonsense approach to the practical and contemporary use of the instrument.
More reference book then textbook, the pages are designed with guitar teachers in mind. Each page is a lesson, covering or developing basic guitar principles, while providing worksheets and easy to read charts and handouts to use as reinforcement and reminder. The result is a highly organized, discipline oriented, graduated approach that emphasizes motor memory and pattern recognition, and focuses on strenght building exercises, dozens of which are included here.
Quickly moves from beginner to mastery of basic rock, blues, and popular styles in one book. Student will learn open chord and melodic walks, an easy to remember 60 barre chord system, how to use chord progressions, comprehensive understanding of pentatonic major and minor scales in all keys and positions, develop an extensive exercise\practice system that builds strenght and dexterity, a basic understanding of diatonic chord harmony and much, much more. There is an extensive chapter on blues progressions, and a wide array of provocative quotes from musical ‘friends’ throughout,(from Hunter S. Thompson, Angus Young, Jack Black, and David Lee Roth to Salmon Rushdie, Ray Bradbury, Ornette Coleman, and Frank Zappa), as well as a healthy dose of attitude.
Highest quality, raised print, beautiful full color graphics, circle bound to lay flat. Available at select Chicago area music and book stores, or order here.
