It is satisfying to play a piece of music that sounds great on just one guitar. Beethoven said, The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself.Beyond Chord Melody concentrates on the advanced concepts that distinguish the beginning guitarist from someone on the road to mastering this style of playing.Volume 1 prepares you to play the arrangements in Volume 2. It contains 490 examples and exercises, along with note-by-note recordings of all the material that illustrate the concepts used in creating the arrangements.There is an emphasis on how to get a good sound while playing solo. A lot of attention is spent on fingerings. Sometimes, unusual fingerings can achieve a musical goal that once seemed unattainable.You will also learn about the great solo guitar players, arrangers, and singers, as well as cover songs to listen to for inspiration.There is excitement, satisfaction, and the pure pleasure of becoming proficient in arranging for and playing solo guitar. Stick with it; it's a worthwhile endeavor.
