The Acoustic Guitar Method is the only beginning guitar method based on traditional American music that teaches you authentic techniques and songs. From the folk, blues, and old-time music of yesterday have come the rock, country, and jazz of today. Now you can begin understanding, playing, and enjoying these essential traditions and styles on the instrument that truly represents American music, the acoustic guitar.
Whether you are studying with a teacher or on your own, let the Acoustic Guitar Method be your guide to the joys and pleasures of playing guitar. This comprehensive approach, with graded lessons and supplementary songs, is the one tool you need to get started. On the CD you'll hear clear performances of all the music in the book.
"An excellent method! Engaging musical examples combined with uncommon sense exercises (written from the perspective of the beginner's mind) provide for and encourage a painless learning experience. The acoustic guitar has a new diplomatic handbook in David Hamburger's text!"
—Michael Millham, Adjunct Instructor of Guitar, Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA
