One of the main shortcomings of many guitarists is the lack of understanding of notation and an awareness of what notes they are playing. Beginning Quickpick Express Guitar overcomes these problems in a logical and un-intimidating method that develops theses skills as well as techniques needed for playing the guitar.
Many of the chords used in this book are shown in both full and simple versions to allow students to continue to move through the book while they develop the left hand articulation needed for chord work.
The accompanying CD covers many styles of music associated with guitar to give students as broad as possible repertoire to develop their skills.
Examples of exercises with the backing tracks can be found on this page.
