Publisher's Synopsis
Guitar beginners and improvers music book - with over 70 tunes, pieces, exercises and technical tips - provides repertoire to help nurture musical ability, fingerboard knowledge, technical familiarity and reading skills. It is aimed at both beginners and those who wish to improve their skills, giving the player plenty of material with a steady, gently increasing progression. As many beginners often do not know what style or genre they wish to pursue, this book has a wide scope and is anything but purist. A valuable resource for teachers, it builds upon knowledge gained from previous pages, gradually increasing a student guitarist's ability. Cross-references help coherent learning. This book has been developed over many years, using the wisdom of many guitar tutors to test the material in classes, schools, workshops and private lessons. The authors are Registered Guitar Tutors: Ray Bradfield is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist; Al Summers is a composer. "Over 69 pages of music the notation and tab are presented to a high standard, with the latter, unusually, furnished with rhythm signs, rests and nicely readable numbers. Many tutors, especially those working with adults or teenagers, will find this a helpful supplementary resource." Music Teacher magazine June 2012
