ISBN: 1891370138
Your Ultimate Step-by-Step Manual to Rock Rhythm-Guitar. This book guides you step by step through a variety of basic Chords, Barre & Pick use, Fingerstyles, Rock Riffs & Sounds -- all vital the rocking guitarist.
For those wanting to learn how to become good or better at one of the most popular forms of modern music. Now there might be a couple of oxymorons in that sentence, however, Yoichi Arakawa's approach is to treat Rock with Respect, & I shall attempt to do the same! Starting with:
• Parts of the Guitar: how to hold & tune it, plus basic music notations, scales & chords.
• Basic Open chords from diagrams, the pick, majors, dominants, minors & so on, until the chapter review.
• Barre & Movable Chords: explains was the Barre & its various techniques & usages.
• Fingerstyle & More Open Chords: right-hand letters, arpeggios, fingerpicking.
• Rock Riffs: left-hand techniques, single note riffs, power-chords, arranging.
• Rock-Guitar Sounds: amplifiers, effects & set-up examples, & so much more!
Yoichi Arakawa offers a simple, thorough teaching in the study of music:-- the notes, the chords, the rhythm & the language. As an erstwhile piano player & alto chorale singer, I found all the instructions accessible & valid.
I gave Rock Guitar Chords & Accompaniment to a newly-converted young guitarist in town, & was not surprised when he not only readily understood the book, he markedly improved!
So, if you have a budding rocker in your nest or pad or band, who wants to learn more about his/her guitar & her/his music, I do recommend Yoichi Arakawa's Rock Guitar Chords & Accompaniment, please!?
