Education Publications, Passport to Play Guitar

Passport to Play Guitar is a tutor series for beginning guitarists which is focused on learning to play the guitar through listening, reading and playing together, and is suitable for both classical and acoustic guitarists. The two volumes use music drawn from various styles and cultures from all around the world, including Blues and Jazz from North America; Folk and Traditional music from Europe, Africa and Latin America; and pieces inspired by the people and places that the authors have encountered on their travels.

Because musicians everywhere learn by listening and playing together, authors Jens Franke and Timothy Pells have also included audio for every piece. This allows you to play along with other musicians, while learning at the same time. Tim and Jens believe in keeping it simple, which is why they have also included clear illustrations and kept the explanatory texts to a minimum. The focus will always be on playing music that makes you feel good, right from the outset. Passport to Play Guitar is great for beginners as it includes TAB alongside the standard notation, and accompaniments for ensemble playing. Learn the guitar in a creative new way, playing music that makes you feel good, right from the outset.
