Description

This book, and its predecessor Volume 1, is directed at all forms of accompaniment in which the guitar is the key harmonic element but principally when supporting the human voice. If you completed Volume 1 you can now play four songs on the guitar and manage barre chords. The next step is to tackle 12 bar blues, introducing more barre chords, and the first steps towards improvisation, which involves scales. . First – more barre chords very important to strummed rhythm playing and therefore comprehensive right hand strumming patterns. Second – more complex finger picking, specifically claw hammers, fundamental to advanced accompaniments . Third – melody and improvisation, which needs scales. The blues fits all three of these categories.
