(Guitar Educational). This book contains a complete course for all
guitarists who want to progress from beginner to intermediate level. It
follows on from the hugely successful Justinguitar.com Beginner's
Course, and is the ideal next step for students who are already
comfortable with the basics of guitar playing. After 20 years of
teaching guitar, Justin has assembled the essential techniques that
progressing guitarists need to know and has worked out to help them
overcome the things they find difficult. The course is intelligently
structured, and divided into five stages; each stage builds on what you
already know, introducing enough new material to keep you busy, but not
so much that you'll feel overwhelmed. Each stage has its own practice
routine and ear-training exercises that will help you improve quickly
and consistently. The book comes with two specially-recorded CDs
containing demonstrations of every chord, technique and exercise
featured in the course. Along the way, you'll learn: How to play barre
chords * How to play scales * New voicings for Major and Minor chords
* More advanced rhythm guitar techniques * Basic note reading and
theory * Transcribing * String bending * Hammer-ons and flick-offs *
Simple soloing * and much, much more.
