Details

Narratives on famous guitarists and the extra details on guitar history are fine, but that's not what readers need or want when they are eager to master their new guitar. The Only Basic Guitar Instruction Book You'll Ever Need jumps straight into teaching beginners note reading, hand positions, and other essentials, including how to:
  • Hold their guitar properly and pick notes with their right hand
  • Progress beyond the basics to integrate playing with both hands
  • Shift positions, play harmony, and understand chord structures
Although learning the guitar can seem intimidating, this easy-to-use, step-by-step guide is simple enough even for novices, who can start picking simple tunes and learn to play chords in no time. Jack Wilkins (New York, NY), a teacher at the Manhattan School of Music, writes a regular guitar-playing column for Just Jazz Magazine. A professional guitarist for over forty years, he has recorded numerous CDs and has worked with artists such as Tony Bennett, Buddy Rich, and Sarah Vaughan. Peter Rubie, (New York, NY) is a former guitar instructor and the author of several books, including The Everything Get Published Book and The Everything Shakespeare Book.
