UPC: 728941716124.Teach Yourself Guitar published by Santorella Publications is the first in a series including CD that was initially created as an impulse product for a typical independent "Guitar & Amp" shop. In a market flooded with similar products, we swiftly learned that our edition was more than just a quick fix for the beginner. Although titled, "Teach Yourself Guitar," it contains much more than basic instruction. Accordingly, "Teach Yourself Guitar" has become the standard for countless educators as a private lesson study guide.There are numerous products on the market that falsely proclaim incomprehensible results in just minutes. Unfortunately, none of these products cultivate permanent advancement. Becoming a better musician is only possible through hard work, discipline and dedication.Our challenge was to create an approach to guitar that was easy to understand and followed a logical "step by step" progression. To truly master the guitar, one must have their eyes set on short-term goals in order to achieve long-term results. We are proud to say that we have met this challenge by providing a proven curriculum to learning the many facets of playing the guitar in this one of a kind guide.Topics covered include:Types of GuitarsTuning the GuitarHolding the GuitarMusical NotationTiming and Note ValuesThe First String-EThe Second String-BThe Third String-CPlaying ChordsIt's Time To "Rest"Notes on the Fourth String-DNotes on the Fifth String-AHigh ANotes on the Sixth String-EBass Chord AccompanimentsThe F Chord Using Three StringsAccidentalsAscending ScalesDescending ScalesEnharmonic NotationArpeggiosTranspositionMajor Scale and Key SignaturesImportant Tablature Symbols
