The second in the critically acclaimed 'Play the Guitar series', this book continues the exploration of music for the guitar and builds on the fingerstyle playing skills introduced in Book One, but is great for any student who has just passed the beginning stages of learning.
Students get to explore many genres, including blues, rock, ragtime, country & western, the rich heritage of the European Classical periods, traditional folk tunes from England, Wales, America and Australia, and exciting rhythms from Spain, Latin America, Mexico, the West Indies, the Middle East, Africa and Japan.
The engaging blend of solos, duets, trios, quartets and song accompaniment is ideal for group learning, with most trios and quartets arranged to work just as well as duets; perfect for private students with their teachers.
All the main guitar keys are covered, with scales and chords, and notes in the higher positions. Students will also love the ‘special effects’ like harmonics, damping, staccato, glissando, percussion, bent notes, and many others.
