Description:

Each Tune a Day book features numbered lessons, with new concepts introduced at each lesson, which are then reinforced with one or several tunes on the facing page. In the "NEW" Tune a Day books, clear photos illustrating concepts have been added, as well as demonstration and backing tracks for each song within the book.

This book begins with the rudiments of music, the basics of the guitar, holding it, and proper sitting; then introduces the notes on open strings (as well as the proper notation for classical guitar fingering.) Many of these exercises also include a guitar accompaniment for the teacher to play. More notes and rhythmic concepts are introduced ... Occasional worksheets are included to test the student's retention of key concepts.

Pieces throughout the book include classical guitar works by Carcassi, Sor, Carulli, Bach, Giulani and others, as well as familiar tunes Greensleeves, Brahms Lullaby, Amazing Grace, Scarborough Fair, and a section of Christmas carols.

Finally - the DVD edition includes all of the above, plus a modern DVD showing the basics of tuning, holding the guitar, and playing first notes! ©2007, Book/CD/DVD, 64 pages.
