Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Learn to strum the guitar with Strumming the Guitar Book 2. A detailed course for intermediate level and upward. This book goes beyond the basics, covering power chords, strumming in 3/4 time, barre chords, swing feel, early chord changes, using a capo to change key, using a capo to avoid barre chords, muted strums and 16th note strumming in 4/4 time and 6/8 time. Throughout the book as the difficulty level progresses, separate sections take on strumming alone, followed by changing between chords, then coordinating chord changes while strumming. This maintains a thorough approach with components broken down at every level.Guitar Strumming Techniques - Advice is given on how to finger and strum power chords, barre chords (major, minor and dominant 7th) and how to refer to the root note to find them, using a capo and muted strumming. All explained with purpose made diagrams and professionally hand drawn illustrations.Guitar Strumming Patterns - There are 158 different strumming patterns that can be used throughout the book, all written with easy-to-understand, graphical, strumming diagrams.

From simpler chords such as A major to more advanced ones such as A7sus2/G and lots more inbetween.Guitar Rhythm Exercises and Guitar Music with Chords - 117 strumming exercises and 15 musical study pieces. Every section includes strumming exercises that combine chord changes with strumming.
