The Acoustic Guitar Method teaches you how to play guitar using the techniques and songs of American roots music. Beginning with a few basic chords and strums, you'll start right in learning real music drawn from blues, folk, country, and bluegrass traditions. Working in both standard music notation and a special system for guitar called tablature, you'll learn how to find notes on the fingerboard by using them in particular song arrangements. You'll use different kinds of picking patterns and expand your collection of chords by learning songs in various keys. And as your knowledge of the fingerboard expands, you'll solidify that knowledge by picking out the melodies to the tunes you're working on. When you're done with the Acoustic Guitar Method, you'll know dozens of the tunes that form the backbone of American music and be able to play them using a variety of flat picking and fingerpicking techniques.
WHY ACOUSTIC GUITAR? The acoustic guitar is an incredibly flexible instrument. With just a few chords under your fingers you can play dozens of traditional and popular tunes; with time and effort, you can take the same instrument to virtuosic heights. The acoustic guitar knows few stylistic limits: everything from Lester Flatt's bluegrass backup to John Hurt's country blues fingerpicking, from the Everly Brothers' percussive rock strumming to Leo Kottke's supercharged slide workouts, has been done on essentially the same instrument. You can make music on an acoustic guitar all by yourself or use it as a songwriting tool, and since you can play both rhythm and lead, it's a great instrument for bands and jamming as well. The amount and variety of music that's made on the acoustic guitar is staggering. Country, blues, bluegrass, jazz, folk, rock-acoustic guitar lies at the heart of all these styles. You may find yourself wanting to check out a little bit of everything. Or maybe one style will grab your attention and not let go. No matter where your interests lead you, you'll be expanding your ears, strengthening your fingers, and learning more about music and your instrument.
WHY ROOTS MUSIC? The various genres collectively referred to as roots music are all very much alive, and the guitar is very much a part of those traditions. Whether you're revved up about learning fingerstyle blues, bluegrass flatpicking, basic country backup, or western swing, it all starts with the same fundamentals. Learning tunes is a practical and fun way to acquire a chord vocabulary, practice strumming techniques, learn about picking and playing single notes, and apply picking patterns to real-world situations. We've chosen the traditional tunes in this series for their variety and accessibility and because they are great songs and a blast to play. These songs are survivors
THE COMPLETE ACOUSTIC GUITAR METHOD
CHOOSING AN INSTRUMENT
The dreadnought is the standard acoustic guitar shape, a relatively large, squarish design developed by C.F. Martin around 1916; nearly every guitar company now makes dreadnought-style instruments. There are also numerous smallerbodied instrument styles, often based on older designs by Martin or Gibson and variously referred to as parlor, concert, or simply small-bodied guitars. These are often easier to hold and to wrap your arms around as a beginner than the bulkier dreadnought or the equally large jumbo instruments based on Gibson's various models of that name. Different styles and shapes of instruments do sound different from one another, but right now the most important issue is comfort, so get something that feels like it fits your body. While we're on the subject, keep in mind that you can make music on any instrument. Many musicians use a variety of guitars over the course of their lives or keep a few instruments to change their sound on stage, in the studio, or at home. Much of the earliest country and blues music was made with whatever instruments were available or affordable at the time. People played cheap Stella, Harmony, or hand-me-down guitars because that's what they had, and they made music that's still worth listening to decades later. In our own era, there are more and more good, inexpensive guitars being produced all the time, making it easier than ever to find a comfortable, reasonably priced, good-sounding beginner instrument. Whether you get something new or secondhand, have the shop where you buy it or a recommended repair shop do a setup before you get started. That basically means adjusting the neck for the most comfortable action, or distance between the strings and the fretboard, putting on a fairly light gauge of strings, and checking the intonation (that is, making sure your guitar plays in tune all the way up the neck), which may involve adjustments to the saddle and/or the nut. (Aren't you glad you looked over that illustration on page 5)
HOLDING THE GUITAR
The standard sitting pose for playing acoustic guitar has the guitar resting on your right leg. Your right arm can drape over the lower bout of the guitar, with the instrument fitting snugly in the crook of your arm. That should leave your right hand dangling somewhere between the bridge and the sound hole, or right at the soundhole's edge, when you go to strum or pick. If you're planning to stand up, you might want to have a strap button attached to the heel of the neck. It doesn't have the same Woody Guthrie-esque hobo look as tying a piece of string around the headstock, but it centers the guitar's body on you a bit better and ensures a more stable placement of the instrument. Keep your left-hand thumb along the back of the neck, wherever it feels most comfortable. It can creep up over the top, past the fingerboard, as long as it's not actually touching the low string and keeping it from ringing out when you strum. Be sure to keep your fingers arched, with each joint bent; if they flatten out across the strings they will also flatten the sound when you strum.
