About the Book
This is a basic introduction to traditional American guitar styles for the acoustic guitarist. After an opening chapter on guitar basics, the author takes the beginning player through old-time and bluegrass, country blues, alternating-bass fingerpicking and additional styles. Each chapter includes full musical examples and exercises in tablature and standard notation. Assuming a beginner's knowledge of the instrument, this book will appeal to any guitarist who wants to broaden his or her musical palette. This book comes with a highly useful audio CD.
