Description

Learn to play rhythm and lead rock guitar with the step-by-step lessons and 70 great rock songs and excerpts in this book with online audio! The Hal Leonard Rock Guitar Method is your complete guide to learning rock guitar. This book uses real rock songs - no corny rock arrangements of nursery rhymes here! - to teach you the basics of rhythm and lead rock guitar in the style of Eric Clapton, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and many others. Lessons include power chords, riffs, scales, licks, string bending, vibrato, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and slides, to name a few. Each chapter concludes with a jam session, which enables you to jam along to full arrangements of nine rock classics as: Day Tripper · Oye Como Va · Pride and Joy · Takin' Care of Business · Time Is on My Side · Wild Thing · and more. Online audio is accessed using the unique code in each book and includes PLAYBACK+ features such as tempo adjustment and looping capabilities. Review: Excellent for a complete beginner - This book has tabs and exercises that get the absolute beginner playing straight away. From basic chords to familiar chord progressions and riffs from rock favourites. Challenging enough to keep a beginner developing but not so hard that your student feels out of their depth. Good selection of music too. Review: Good item - As always Hal Leonard uses authentic musical examples. There are lots of classic riffs and snap-shots in here for the improver to intermediate player. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners but if you have been playing a couple of years or so you should get the benefit from this book.
