Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1 - Second Edition
The second edition of this renowned method, authored by Will Schmid and Greg Koch, is the preferred choice among teachers due to its effectiveness and its ability to simplify their teaching tasks. Students find it appealing because of its easy-to-follow format, which not only imparts a strong music education but also allows them to start playing songs right from the beginning.
Book 1 serves as an introduction, covering topics like tuning, first-position melody playing, and the chords C, G, G7, D7, and Em. It delves into rhythms, progressing through eighth notes, and explores solos, ensembles, and strumming techniques. The book includes a chord chart and presents traditional songs such as "Amazing Grace," "Greensleeves," and "When the Saints Go Marching In."
Furthermore, audio examples of the exercises are available online, accessible through the unique code provided within the book. The audio can be streamed or downloaded and is accompanied by PLAYBACK+, a versatile audio player that allows you to adjust the playback speed without altering the pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan the audio left or right to enhance your learning experience.
