Specifications:
This is the long awaited reissue of Chet's classic teaching video that was first produced in 1986, with help by guitarist friend/arranger John Knowles. So you're serious about learning to play the guitar? Well now you can learn all of the basics and a lot more from the master himself! For each song you'll learn the chords, the melody, plus some of Chet's hottest licks. Tips on tuning, changing chords, fingerpicking and much more is carefully explained. The book's companion DVD presents phrase-by-phrase instruction with split-screen close-ups so you can see exactly how each phrase is played.
Tunes include:
• Jambalaya
• On Top Of Old Smokey
• Yesterday
• In Tunisia
• New Guitar Blues
• Playing For Scale
• Take Me Home, Country Roads
• Greensleeves
• Pickin' Produce
• A Quick Picker
• Knucklebusters
• Yankee Doodle Dixie
Contrary to the title, this fine package really isn't for someone picking up the instrument for the first time. But if you've gotten the basic chords down and can change between them while keeping in tempo, then you're ready for what Atkins has to offer here.
(Level=higher beginner to higher intermediate) 105-pages transcribed in tablature & standard notation. The companion DVD includes performances of all songs/examples by Chet.
