GUITAR CHORDS AND ACCOMPANIMENT

Guitar Chords and Accompaniment, written specifically for people with little or no playing experience, teaches you step by step how to play guitar chords and accompaniment.  Starting with such basics as how to hold your guitar, proper finger positioning and guitar tuning, the book then guides you throughchords, moving on to the more challenging barre chords and slash chords.  Each chord is introduced through a large, easy-to-follow chord diagram.  Accompaniment styles also begin with the most basic pattern and become more complex as you advance in skill.  

Best of all, the book has been carefully organized and designed to help beginners overcome many of the common problems they are likely to encounter. While the presentation is clear enough for a novice, students with several years of training will also benefit from the variety of styles and approaches. A perfect textbook for both beginning/intermediate students and private or classroom guitar teachers.

The main features include:

More than 130 chords including barre, and slash chords presented by large chord diagrams.
120 strumming, arpeggio, fingerstyle, and other common accompaniments applicable to various  styles: rock, folk, blues, country, classical, jazz, etc.
Basic components of music notation and theory.
Full strum notations and many practical chord progression exercises.

The book will show you:

How to play wide-stretched chords more easily.
How to connect from one chord to another smoothly without stumbling.
How to count rhythms accurately.
What to do with all the chords you are learning.
How to play an accompaniment from a lead sheet or a song book that shows only chords and lyrics.
