Description

Rather than just providing scales, chords, or tunes, this book guides the reader
through the process of understanding the guitar from the perspective of DADGAD
tuning. Topics are organized as a series of small self-contained sections ideal
for a single study session or lesson. After exploring extremely easy ways to get
started with DADGAD, involving as little as a single finger on the fretting
hand, the book progresses to examples that will interest even more advanced
players. 200 musical examples, including several full performance-quality
pieces, demonstrate each concept. The companion recording features the author
playing many of the examples.
