Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists who want to play in the spirit of great names and iconic bands, this method offers a detailed study of twelve major pop guitar styles, from the 1950s to today. You will encounter disco, funk, Latin, reggae, sixties pop, glam, and Motown colors, covering a wide range of characteristic rhythms, accompaniments, and phrasing.
Each style is approached through concrete examples that highlight the essentials: what defines the identity of a playing style, key points to work on, and musical reflexes to adopt to sound authentic. Systematic exercises help you develop reliable technique and more precise playing, while specially composed pieces for the book allow you to consolidate your skills in a realistic musical context.
Beyond the notes, the method provides real insight into sound culture: important techniques, reference guitarists, typical "sounds," equipment, and amps. The CD complements the learning with, for each piece, a full demo and a playalong version, perfect for working on timing, dynamics, and expression, just like in a band setting.
