Chappell:E-Gitarre für Dummies

No instrument represents modern or classic rock music quite like the electric guitar. The electric guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular musical instruments, alongside its acoustic counterpart. There are good reasons for this: few other instruments can convey as much passion, power, and expressiveness. Jon Chappell will show you how to hold and tune the guitar correctly, how to play chords and riffs, and master playing techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, bending, and more. You will learn everything about the different rock genres—from rock 'n' roll and classic rock to jazz and heavy metal. This book will also familiarize you with the equipment of an aspiring rock musician: amplifiers, distortion pedals, and other effects. Thus, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to this versatile instrument. And because all theory is dull, and to help you get started right away, the accompanying audio CD includes numerous example tracks for listening and playing along.
