Play Rock Guitar: Getting Started

Play Rock Guitar: Getting Started is a complete DVD and book package that teaches the basics of lead and rhythm rock guitar. After completing this course, you'll be able to jam along with your favorite recordings, play live with a band and create your own unique sound. You'll learn all about the Strat and Les Paul (the two most popular styles of rock guitar), and how to get the best tone from an amplifier. You'll also learn useful musical concepts such as unisons, octaves, major scales and pentatonic scales, and the tools of the rhythm guitarist: eighth-note grooves, power chords and open chords. This DVD also covers lead guitar techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, trills, vibrato, bends and slides, and how to put everything together for a killer guitar solo.
