Introduction

There
has never been a better time to play the guitar! Guitar makers call this the Golden Age of Lutherie for good reason; it's a time where players of all levels can find high-quality guitars in an price range. But this era could just as easily be called the Golden Age of Guitar Instruction. Never before have we had so many high-quality instructional materials and accurate song transcriptions for virtually any style of music. In Essential Acoustic Guitar Lessons, the experienced teachers at Acoustic Guitar offer up something for everyone. The Basics section will help you learn the notes on the guitar's fret board and get started with barre chords and flatpicking. More advanced lessons include styles as diverse as jazz improvisation, Celtic jigs, slack-key guitar, alternate tunings, and more. You'll even learn how to play your guitar like a bass, if the need arises! If one style particularly grabs you, log on to where you'll find a multitude of books delving into specific styles and techniques. So pick up your guitar, and let's get started!
