Accelerated Guitar Course: A Fast-Paced Guitar Manual

by Tony Llewellyn

Up till the advent of the portable keyboard, the guitar for many years held the position of the number one selling instrument in the world. With good reason. The guitar is one of the few self–contained instruments – in other words, it can play melody, rhythm and harmony all on its own. It is also portable, relatively inexpensive, and one of a small number of instruments that is equally at home in all styles of music. From baroque to heavy metal, from rock to jazz, from country to blues, the guitar fits them all comfortably. As a solo instrument, in a band or for vocal accompaniment, the guitar has no equal. If you want to learn how to play the guitar, Accelerated Guitar Course is for you. The author draws on many years of teaching experience to help the student learn the basics as quickly as possible. Accelerated Guitar Course covers basic open chords, bar chords, strumming, finger picking, music reading, and more.
