Blues Guitar Method
I am almost 40 and I want to learn to play guitar?
I want to be able to play old blues classics, for a total noob as most AAND me, is there a quick way to learn? I mean, I want to play decently before hitting 50 .. .. Is it possible? Please only musicians with serious answers …
You know, I learned a lot of instruments, and guitar is that I think is the best self-taught. I did when I was 14 years, and it took all of one hour to master the basics. Here's what you do. This assumes that you know about how to read music. 1. Get your hands on a semi-decent guitar and a copy of the "Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1". You do not need to copy the CD-ROM. 2. Sit in your basement or a place where you will not be disturbed or disturbing others. Did anyone else tune first, as it's too late for your first day. Perhaps the second. 2. Take a deep breath and relax. And read the whole book with your guitar in front of you. If do what he says, you'll be able to play in about a day. More importantly, you understand how it works because you know how a string put together, and you'll be able to play individual notes.

1st Steps for a Beginning Guitarist, Chords and Chord Progressions $25.74 The guitar is the most popular instrument in the world yet most students of the guitar are self taught. This book is a comprehensive for guitar students who have no prior musical training. No matter what type of guitar you play, this book will give you the information you need, and trouble shoot the various pitfalls that can hinder the self-taught musician. The author knows from over 25 years of teaching experience that students form most of their good and bad habits in the first six months of practicing. It is therefore extremely important to use a method book that clearly and concisely covers the important subjects of proper playing technique, tuning, picking, strumming, music theory and rhythm. Furthermore, the only way a student can remember the information learned is to apply it. The hardest part of learning the guitar for a student is switching between chords. This unique method book contains chord progressions using both open and barre chords that gradually take a student fro a beginning level to an advanced level. The publisher’s website also has mp3 and midifiles to be played along with, for developing the strumming, time and feel for each chord progression. The chord progressions presented are commonly found in hard rock, rock, folk, blues and country, giving the student a solid harmonic foundation in all these styles. This method book not only gives you pages of pictures but also gives you access to video clips via the publisher’s website to demonstrate playing basics in action. The Muse-eek Publishing Company believes the education of a student shouldn’t stop with the purchase of a book, therefore our website, offers a FAQ page where students canwrite in to the author with questions that may and a free member’s section where students can download other learning materials to further their education., |
