Summary of This Method
The Hal Leonard Rock Guitar Method is a guide designed to cover the essential aspects of rock guitar playing, from fundamentals to techniques that immediately add character to your sound. The approach emphasizes practical application: each lesson leads you to play riffs and excerpts inspired by your rock references, helping you understand how to apply concepts in a musical context, with a true sense of groove and energy.
Throughout the chapters, you develop a typically rock toolbox: power chords, scale positions, right-hand articulation, control of bends, vibrato, and playing intention, to build a credible sound in both rhythm and solo playing. The method focuses on step-by-step progression and efficiency: you learn to connect ideas, improve precision, and make your playing more expressive, whether on sharp accompaniments or more melodic lead lines.
Designed to complement any other method, it offers practical advice and an extensive repertoire with 68 rock songs and riffs, drawing on styles associated with iconic artists (Clapton, Van Halen, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones). The included CD allows you to test yourself in real conditions with full band versions and demonstration tracks on 9 songs: "Day Tripper," "Drive My Car," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Oye Como Va," "Pride And Joy," "Takin' Care Of Business," "Time Is On My Side," "Walk Don't Run," "Wild Thing."
