Beyond Chord Melody, Volume 2
[Book & Online Audio] [140 pages]
The Art of Arranging and Performing for Solo Guitar
It is satisfying to play a piece of music that sounds great on just one guitar. Beethoven said, “The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself.”
Volume Two of Beyond Chord Melody adds 36 songs to your repertoire. All these songs are performance-ready. They are interesting, challenging, and fun to play. They are drawn from Jazz and Swing, Americana, Country and Western, Folk, Blues, Gospel, and Spirituals.
With Volume Two, you gain access to note-by-note recordings of the thirty-six complete song arrangements. This will help you to follow along with the music, and they are great to listen to on their own.
The joy and pleasure of becoming proficient in arranging and performing on solo guitar can last a lifetime — it has for me. I wish the same for you. Stick with it, it’s worth it.
