Alfred's Guitar 101 - Book 2 | Arrow Vision Malaysia

Description

This all-encompassing method for fundamental guitar skills encompasses a diverse repertoire, theoretical knowledge, comprehensive guidance on seating and hand positioning, standard music notation, an introduction to tablature, basic improvisation techniques, and instruction in both pickstyle and fingerstyle methods. It is particularly suitable for college students who are not majoring in music, continuing education programs, in-store music dealer initiatives, and group guitar classes at the middle and high school levels.

Book 2 comprises 16 units, each featuring a range of repertoire, exercises, and timed assessments at the conclusion. Unit 15 offers guidance on performing 12 popular songs, while Unit 16 introduces foundational lessons in improvisation. The comb binding allows the book to lay flat, making it ideal for both study and performance.
