Product Description

The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teachers aid, it can also be used for independent study.

Topics like posture, tuningandphrasing are not prescribed, being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice, this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being ameasuredand progressive tutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student.

Book Four builds on the ideas and techniques explored in the first three books. It begins withanextensive look at the key of A major, initially in second position but moving through other positions and finishing with an exercise in thirds and a duet.

The remainder focuses on triplets and compound time, beginningwithtriplet exercises in 2/4 before moving on to 6/8. The book then features swing rhythms before finishing with a Habanera, Renaissance pieces and a modern piece in multiple time signatures.
