This guitar method focuses on playing engaging rhythmic themes entirely on open strings. What seems at first to be a simple task quickly becomes a real challenge, requiring a high level of accuracy and an excellent sense of rhythm. While the picking hand can only play what the other hand has prepared, nothing musical will happen unless you pluck the right string. Sven Niers exercises and tunes offer motivating, effective training to facilitate hitting the correct string with precision, winning half the coordination battle. While the audio examples are recorded on an electric instrument, guitar teachers and beginning students in all styles will appreciate this innovative book. Includes access to outstanding play-along online audio with and without the solo part.

Trading songs, interacting with other instrumentalists, and building an ensemble sound help you learn much faster than approaching a new instrument on your own. This play- along series of books and companion audio promotes a fun way of learning by providing you with a band to play along with. You can practice chords and rhythm, singing and lyrics, melodies, solos, licks, and back-up playing along with a real band. The companion audio includes Dix Bruce on the guitar, mandolin and vocals, Bill Evans on the banjo and vocals, Julie Cline on vocals, and Cindy Browne on the string bass. The songs are recorded just as they would be played at a jam session or performance, with introductions kickoffs , vocals and solos. By playing back-up/melody and singing along, you will have a lot of fun while you learn. Open solo spaces in the recordings allow you to play the chords and solos from the book, create your own improvised solos, or sing the lyrics while the band provides accompaniment. The book includes fifteen of the most popular bluegrass, old-time and gospel songs, recorded at slow and regular tempos in the audio.

Here' s an effective bright swing piece scored in the popular Count Basie style that is designed to make advancing groups sound their very best. As in many Basie-style works, dynamics and articulations play a key role in any presentation. For optimum results in achieving a tight ensemble sound, the rhythm section sets the pace in the opening moments of the introduction. Since the drummer enters after 24 measures, the guitarist and bass lock tempo with the pianist, giving them the chance to learn self-reliance without the drummer policing the time and groove. The horns will fall easily into place once this feel is established. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson. Duration 3:15. Available in SmartMusic.
