Synopsis

Knowing how to play the guitar is just one of those things we'd all love to be able to do. Think back to your formative years - at parties it was always the kid with the guitar who got all the attention, and it's probably that same kid who is now raking it in with their uber-cool band while you slave away at your desk. Now your dreams of guitar-playing stardom can come a little closer to reality with the help of our fantastic new book "Play Great Guitar".Packed with expert advice for getting more out of your hobby, plus over 25 original compositions to try yourself, "Play Great Guitar" is guaranteed to give you plenty of inspiring ideas and more practical skills so you can improve your playing and enjoy your guitar even more.

Ideal for those just starting out, as well as more experienced players, "Play Great Guitar" has something for everyone, whatever your musical tastes. It is simply brilliant. OK, maybe busking/singing round a bonfire is what we really mean, but you've got to aim high if you want to play like the stars. Or something like that.This title offers original and inspiring expert advice for getting the most out of your guitar, with ideas for both beginners and more experienced players. All compositions are available to download online, with bonus audio files of each piece for readers to listen to as guidance.
