Learning to play it can be complicated, but it needn't be, as THE BEGINNER'S GUIDETO PLAYING GUITAR so expertly shows. \u003cbr\u003eIn the experienced teaching hands of Douglas J. Noble, players who haven't touched a guitar before, nor have any prior musical knowledge, can easily learn the basics. All the musical examples included here have been written to be played by a total neophyte, with easy-to-understand notation and straightforward timing. \u003cbr\u003eChapters include: \u003cbr\u003e- Getting Started \u003cbr\u003e- Guitar Music Notation \u003cbr\u003e- Major and Seventh Chords \u003cbr\u003e- Minor Chords and Seventh Chords \u003cbr\u003e- Minor Chords and Ear Training \u003cbr\u003e- The Twelve Bar Blues \u003cbr\u003e- Classical Guitar \u003cbr\u003e- Completing the Open String Chords \u003cbr\u003e- Barre Chords \u003cbr\u003e- Music Theory \u003cbr\u003e- The Blues Scale \u003cbr\u003e- Jazz \u003cbr\u003e- Discography \u003cbr\u003e- Glossary\u003cbr\u003eThough the book does contain some actual songs, it concentrates on material written specifically to improve a certain aspect of playing.
