Rock Guitar For Dummies (eBook)

Face it, being a rock guitarist is just about the coolest thing you
can be - next to a secret agent with a black belt in
karate. But even if you were a butt-kicking international person of
mystery, playing rock guitar would still be cooler because it
involves art, passion, power, poetry, and the ability to move an
audience of listeners. Whether "moving your listeners" means mowing
down crowd surfers with your power chords or making the audience
cry with your sensitive melodies, no other musical instrument
allows you so much versatility.

Whatever rocks your world, Rock Guitar For Dummies can
help you bring that message out through your fingers and onto that
electric guitar that's slung over your shoulder. If you're a
beginner, you'll discover what you need to know to start playing
immediately, without drowning in complicated music theory. If
you've been playing for a while, you can pick up some tips to help
improve your playing and move to the next level.
