INTRODUCTION:
Let’s
start at the beginning – I LOVE MUSIC - YOU LOVE MUSIC – There is nothing more enjoyable than playing your favorite
song(s) instrumentally on the guitar, being able to actually distinguish the song (melody line), adding your own feelings
and interpretations.
This program has a logical step process and should
be approached in that manner. You are going to learn Solo Guitar Playing within the following guidelines.
1. The Proper Instrument –Page 2
2. Tuning The Guitar – Page 3
3. The Visual Music Language – Page 6
4. Basic Guitar Chords – Page 9
5. Chord Hand Technique – Page 15
6. Pick Hand Technique – Page 16
7. Music Keys and How They Work – Page 24
8. SoloTab Music Form – Page 34
These
eight steps each can contain months of practice and work but I want to keep this as simple and as painless as possible, so
I will leave the amount of time you spend on each step up to you. But remember that the more time you spend on each step the
better your results will be.
