Progressive Rock Guitar Method will introduce you to the exciting world of Rock guitar. It will not be necessary to have any previous knowledge of the guitar, as this book is suitable for the complete beginner. Experienced guitarists however. who perhaps have not tackled this style before, will find this manual invaluable as an introduction to the basics of Rock guitar.
This book deals with the two main classifications of Rock guitar, rhythm and lead. You will become familiar with both subjects as you work your way through the book.
Rhythm guitar, being the technique of strumming chords, is explained clearly and simply throughout the book, with the help of an easy read system involving arrows. Lead guitar. being the picking of individual notes, is explained with the use of tablature, an easy read system for reading notes. Throughout the book there are many songs which use the various techniques detailed in each lesson. You will be invited to try both the rhythm and lead part to each song.
A special section dealing with tuning. the basics of music for Rock guitar and a chord chart has been included at the end of the book.
It is recommended that you should have a copy of the accompanying recording thaI includes all the examples in this book. The book shows you where to place your fingers and what technique to use and the tape lets you hear how each example should sound.
Once you have successfully completed this book you will be able to further your study of Rock guitar by immediately moving onto Progressive Rock Guitar Technique which deals with the more advanced aspects of Rock Guitar.
Good Luck and have fun, Brett Duncan
