» Recommended Literature / Instructional material
To become a well-rounded guitarist and improve your playing, we
also recommend the following instructional books that influenced our
way of approaching the guitar:
  | This
is definitely one of the most important classics regarding a
general approach to the fretboard. This book does not tell you "Do this
and do that", it rather reflects on the complexity of the guitar and
derives important conclusions. Basically, it let's you think and make
your own decisions. Mick Goodrick is an absolute master at opening your
eyes and putting the guitar in a broader context. He and his book are
absolutely underrated! However, it is definitely a highly recommended
book for the library of a modern guitarist! |   | This
classical textbook is one of the best introductions to constructing and
using chords on the guitar. Ted Greene was a very gifted guitar
teacher, who unfortunately passed away in 2005. However, he has left a
remarkable legacy in the form of his instructional books. |   | This
is more or less the continuation of "Chord Chemistry" and deals mainly
with chord progressions or how to link individual chords. It also
explains counterpoint, chord melodies and other rather advanced
concepts that will improve your compositional skills enormously. |   | This is a book that might not be
for everybody. It deals basically with Jazz harmony and is not meant for
the average rock musician (who can benefit, though). Also, it is
written from the perspective of a Jazz pianist and requires solid
sight-reading skills. If you are into Jazz/Fusion this is THE harmony
book that we would recommend. We like it because it is a hands-on book
with hundreds of practical examples that let you really feel the spirit of the music! |
