The Complete Cigar Box Guitar Chord Book

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
The Complete Cigar Box Guitar Chord Book is the most extensive library of chords ever assembled for the 3-string cigar box guitar. Incredibly, there are hundreds of possible chords with only three strings in GDG tuning. Of course, there are many "possible" chords with some more practical and easier to play, but this extensive library will cover most chords required to perform all styles of music. I have included as many chords possible in each of the 12 keys in music, as well as multiple voicings of each chord, providing lots of chord choices. While there is an extensive library, I have also included the most commonly played and user-friendly chords for the majority of players -- a convenient summary of easier chords and common chord shapes for beginners. Learning your favourite chords is the first step, followed by learning to switch between chords to play songs and chord progressions. Improve your chords by playing through some of the chord progressions that are taken directly from some of the most popular songs ever written. There is a good selection of blues chord progressions that cover many of the standard blues changes in all keys. Also, take some time to study some of the standard strumming and fingerpicking patterns. Here you will see these familiar rhythm patterns in many of your favourite songs. If you need to brush up on your chord theory, you will find several pages explaining how chords are formed, the chord numbering system, chord formulas, and understanding chord progressions.

Guitar
Author: Tim Brookes
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 1555846130
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
From humble folk instrument to American icon, the story of the guitar is told in this “exceptionally well-written” memoir by the NPR commentator (Guitar Player). In this blend of personal memoir and cultural history, National Public Radio commentator Tim Brookes narrates the long and winding history of the guitar in the United States as he recounts his own quest to build the perfect instrument. Pairing up with a master artisan from the Green Mountains of Vermont, Brookes learns how a perfect piece of cherry wood is hued, dovetailed, and worked on with saws, rasps, and files. He also discovers how the guitar first arrived in America with the conquistadors before being taken up by an extraordinary variety of hands: miners and society ladies, lumberjacks and presidents’ wives. In time, the guitar became America’s vehicle of self-expression. Nearly every immigrant group has appropriated it to tell their story. “Part history, part love song, Guitar strikes just the right chords.” —Andrew Abrahams, People
