This book is the only book you need in order to learn to play the acoustic guitar like a pro. All too often, newbies to the world of the acoustic guitar are frightened away from learning to play. This is often because of the erroneous assumption that in order to play the guitar, one needs to be able to read music, or understand complex musical notation. There are also those who shy away from learning the guitar on account of how daunting the subject of learning to play seems in most books and teaching material. This is where this book comes in.

This book basically combines the practical knowledge of playing the flute with easy-to-understand language and layman's terms so anyone can pick up this comprehensive guide and learn at their own pace. However, what makes this book stand apart from other available options is that it also equips the readers with the ability to read music on their own. The in-depth chapters prepare the beginner flutists to decode the music sheets on their own for an easy practice session. Not many books offer such a comprehensive combination in a single publication.

Publisher's Summary
If you study nature closely you will understand the strategies and techniques that the natural world has developed over millions of years! Many of these strategies can be applied to the banjo. With practice, your banjo playing will become enjoyable, natural, and effortless! Nature flows. Wind and water move effortlessly through an environment filled with obstacles. Observing plants and animals can teach us how they accomplish amazing feats with minimal effort. You might be thinking, "I'm not a tree or drop of water. What does this have to do with me?" Well, that's what I hope to explain in this book. I have gleaned these insights over a lifetime study of music and nature, and now I will show you how to apply them to your banjo playing.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
