Go For Guitar - Basic Book and CD

A lively beginner guitar method exploring everything from pop and rock to classical, Latin, jazz and world music, with CD accompaniments to make practice more engaging.

Go For Guitar – Basic introduces beginner guitarists to the essential techniques of playing while exploring an unusually broad range of musical styles, including pop, rock, classical, Latin, jazz, folk and world music.

Students can develop the right hand using classical fingerstyle technique or choose a plectrum, providing a useful foundation for those intending to progress to electric guitar. Chords and accompaniment playing are also introduced and developed more extensively towards the end of the book, with chord symbols provided for most pieces.

Regular Music Box activities encourage students to use their ears, playing and notating short melodies to develop practical musicianship alongside instrumental skills.

The included CD accompaniments make practice more enjoyable and allow students to experience playing as part of a fuller musical arrangement. With a varied selection of repertoire and a practical approach to technique, rhythm, chords and notation, Go For Guitar – Basic provides an engaging introduction to the guitar for new players.
