Summary of This Book
This fingerstyle guitar collection is designed for those who want to break habits and add new colors to their picking playing. Ben Pila offers 15 arrangements that are melodic, enjoyable to play, and oriented towards "solo guitar," aiming to develop finger independence, bass management, and balance between accompaniment and melody line. You will find titles such as Africa, Can't Help Falling in Love, Hotel California, Livin' on a Prayer, Perfect, The Sound of Silence, Stand by Me, This Is Me, Time to Say Goodbye, Tiny Dancer, and more. For each piece, access to a dedicated recording allows you to internalize the groove, phrasing, and nuances before working on the details. Thanks to the PLAYBACK+ player, you can adapt practice to your level: slow down a tricky passage without altering pitch, create a loop on a measure, transpose to explore other keys, or isolate one side of the mix to better hear certain voices. An excellent choice to expand your pop/rock fingerstyle repertoire while gaining rhythmic precision and musicality.
