Guitar Unmasked was developed over a span of 9 years. It offers one of the most gradual introductions to chord playing of any book on the market, and thus is suitable for all ages and ability levels. It provides a thorough introduction to tab reading and playing, allowing students to master single-note songs on all six strings in first position. It also provides a thorough note-reading primer for single-note playing.
The format for the chord songs is similar to that found when searching for free pop song arrangements on the Internet. Thus it prepares students to be able to download and play any song of their choosing from some of the popular chord sites.
Guitar Unmasked is a good option for someone who has struggled with other methods. It's perfect for the frustrated self-learner who is looking for a gradual introduction. The book features familiar and fun songs such as This Land Is Your Land, Jingle Bells, Amazing Grace, Scarborough Fair, Can Can, Turkey in the Straw, Danny Boy, and dozens more!
