This crash course is for all who want to accompany themselves on the guitar. The songs in this volume are as varied as the occasions for singing. The repertoire ranges from folk songs to pop classics and recent chart hits. The focus is always on easy playability on the guitar. Easy-to-grasp chords for the left hand, plus simple strumming patterns and plucking patterns for the right hand - that's all it takes to get started. Simple also means easy: anyone who has previously struggled with difficult barré chords will ?nd sonorous and easier-to-grasp alternatives here. The great thing about it is that the playing techniques can not only be learned relatively quickly, they are also applicable to many other songs. The video tutorials for each of the songs provide even clearer visual demonstrations.
