Summary of This Method
The Total Acoustic Guitarist offers a progressive immersion into the world of acoustic guitar, with a clear goal: to guide you from the most accessible accompaniment playing to more modern and percussive techniques, while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of the learning process. It begins by establishing solid foundations (rhythmic placement, chord transitions, sense of pulse), then quickly expands the playing vocabulary to lead you toward more elaborate arrangements with a "cool" and decidedly groovy character.
Throughout the pages, the book highlights the expressive richness of the acoustic guitar: more pronounced right-hand attacks, sliding effects, and percussive techniques such as slap and tapping that add depth and dynamics to the performance. This diversity helps develop a true sonic palette, useful both for accompaniment and for playing more independent arrangements.
The method is not limited to a single aesthetic: it addresses contemporary approaches while paying tribute to historical references that have shaped acoustic playing. To complement the work, a CD is included with backing tracks in various styles, ideal for practicing consistency, timing, and musical ease in real conditions. A valuable resource if you are looking for an acoustic guitar method that combines technique, musicality, and variety.
