This revolutionary new method combines solid pedagogy with a focus on real-world guitar skills such as strumming and fingerpicking, pivotal rock and blues riffs, improvising, reading music, and music theory. The included MP3 recordings demonstrate every example and song in the book, and specialized instructional tracks feature concise explanations and demonstrations of all new concepts and techniques. The included SI Player software lets students slow tracks down and loop sections for continuous practice, and video lessons on the included DVD explain and demonstrate all the concepts and techniques.
Taking a fresh approach to guitar instruction, authors Aaron Stang and Bill Purse present their method in the form of a usable musical vocabulary that includes riffs, commonly used patterns, chords and rhythm-playing techniques-all within a repertoire that spans traditional, rock, blues and classical music. Unlike guitar method books of the past, which start from the high E string and work down across the strings, Sound Innovations begins by introducing you to bass line-oriented riffs on the low strings. This approach makes for better left- and right-hand technique development and provides a logical and immediate introduction to chords.
