Description

What result will be after 45 hours of learning from this book?By practicing 1.5 hours every day for 30 days (or 1 hour a day for 45 days) and following all the instructions in this book, you can learn the basic techniques of strumming and fingerstyle, learn the basic open chords (A, Am, C, D, Dm, E, Em, G) and their transpositions, and learn to play 10-20 simple well-known songs. This will allow you to play almost any song in a simplified form. Further you will already improve your playing level and master new guitar skills.❌ Beginners don't understand how to sit properly with the guitar and often their back, neck, and shoulders become tense when practicing. ✅ In this book I tell you how to sit so that your back muscles, neck and shoulders are relaxed, which will allow you to play and enjoy learning. ❌ A common problem with beginners is that they put their right hand on the guitar in an awkward position, which strains the right shoulder and causes fatigue in the hand. The fingers of the right hand get crooked and because of this it becomes hard to pull the strings, and the sound of the strings turns out to be quiet and muffled. ✅ In the book I describe how to put the right hand on the guitar so that the right shoulder is relaxed and the fingers of the right hand immediately get into the position when the strings will sound sound tuneful and it will be convenient to pluck them. ❌ If you put the guitar on your feet like this, putting your left arm on the foot will strain your biceps and make your arm tired in 10 minutes. ✅ I tell you how to put the guitar on the foot so that the left arm is relaxed. ❌ When you place your left hand on the guitar fingerboard to strum a chord, it is very common for beginners to hit the strings and muffle them. ✅ I describe how to place the left hand correctly so that the chord sounds beautiful and all strings are ringing. ❌ When guitarists start playing songs, they encounter the fact that there are many chords in the songs and they need to move them quickly from one to another. 100% of the time, the learner stops playing, changes the chord and only then continues playing. It's like driving a car, accelerate, brake hard, then accelerate again, brake hard, and so on, instead of just driving smoothly. ✅ I tell you what to do when changing chords so that the transition is easy, fast, and the sound is smooth and beautiful.The book contains: - QR codes for 87 videos supplementing the materials in the book - Over 50 simple and sequential exercises to master the guitar at a basic levelIn this book, I explain in simple, clear and detailed detail:How to play guitar in a cool moodHow to learn fastHow to sit correctlyHow to put your guitar on the right footHow to tune the stringsHow to place your right hand on the guitarHow to place your left hand on the guitar fingerboard correctlyWhat position to put your left hand in different chords so that you can play a chord from the 1st time you play it.How to memorize chords quicklyHow to play fingerpickingHow to play strumming and its variationsHow to transpose chords with your left hand while playing a songWhat is rhythm in music and the basic types of musical sizes on which all popular songs are writtenBreaking down over 20 famous songs so you can play them easilyHow to play barre chords.

  • Very cool, easy to understand book, with detailed descriptions of guitar skills, exercises and songs
This is a great book on learning to play guitar. I have 4 months of playing experience and I was not good at putting the C and G chord. I have strummed them probably over a hundred times and always some of the strings I hit with my fingers and jammed them, or it was very painful in my wrist joint. After the instructions in this book, I was able to place these chords the first time, I had all the strings sounding and my wrist was comfortable. That's just amazing! I also really liked chapter 4 about musical rhythm. I've never seen such a simple and clear explanation before. Usually in music books they write some abstruse terms that will be understandable only to professors of music conservatory. In this book I realized what kinds of sizes are in songs immediately after reading it and easily began to understand what size is in the songs I like. Because of this, I can now play them and understand how they are played. What I was also surprised by was the presence of a chapter on the psychology of learning. This is the first time I have ever seen learning described in terms of psychology and thinking. This makes it very easy to understand learning and the learning itself. I have already recommended buying this book to two friends who want to learn to play guitar and ordered myself another copy as a Christmas present for my younger brother. ... show more

  • This is a large and clear self-study guide.
The media could not be loaded. I'm learning to play the guitar and that's why I bought this self-study guide. It's big - 190 pages - and very detailed. I learned how to play with the left and right hand, learned chords and can play songs. By the way, all the lessons have videos!

  • A book, video, & audio!
I'd recommend this book for any beginners as there easy clear instructions, explanation of each important detail, and along with the video & audio it makes it possible to learn how to play guitar in 45 hours or so. It is my opinion and my close one as he is a professional musician. We got this book for a friend who is in his 60-s and decided to make his dream to come true by learning how to play a guitar. And in just 3 days he seems to enjoy it a lot! ... show more

  • Nice guitar book
Easy to read, great instructions and easy to follow. You really don’t learn notes, but great at learning progressive beginning cords. I guess it is a great option for those who are visuals.
