If you’re ready to start playing some rockin’ tunes on the guitar, there's no better teacher than Rock Guitar For Dummies. This is the ultimate guide to playing rock ’n’ roll on six strings, even if you’ve never picked up a guitar before! Master the riffs and melodies of your favorite songs and artists, or make up a few of your own. Find out how to choose the right amplifier, strum power chords, and maintain your guitar. Moving over from another style of guitar playing? You’ll love this guide’s deep dive into rock guitar technique. You’ll even learn to differentiate the sounds of classic rock, heavy metal, grunge, progressive rock, and beyond. Plus, you’ll get access to online resources, including audio and video clips, to bring your rock ’n’ roll education to life.
Face it, being a rock-and-roll guitar player is just about the coolest thing you can be — next to a secret agent with a black belt in karate. But even if you were a butt-kicking international person of mystery, playing rock and roll would still be cooler because it involves art, passion, power, poetry, and the ability to move an audience of listeners. Whether “moving your listeners” means mowing down crowd surfers with your stun-gun power chords or making the audience cry with your achingly wrought melodies, no other art form allows you to wreak such devastation and look so sensitive doing it. And playing the guitar is also a heck of a lot safer than hanging upside down from the helicopter of your nemesis as he tries to drop you into a shark tank.
Whatever rocks your world, Rock Guitar For Dummies will help you to bring the message out through your fingers, onto the electric guitar you’ve got slung so insolently around your neck, and piped through that turbo-charged amp you’ve got cranked up over in the corner. All you have to do now is learn how to play. And for that, you need only your eyes to read the text, your eyes and ears to see and hear the online audio tracks and video clips, a set of willing digits (that would be your fingers), and a little time and patience. Rock Guitar For Dummies will handle the rest.
