Features: Guitar playing styles are diverse, but they can generally be categorized into two main schools: Spanish guitar playing and Hawaiian guitar playing. The former is further divided into three methods: classical playing, slide playing, and folk singing and strumming. Classical playing has a long history and offers a relatively perfect artistic expression; slide playing is faster and has a bright tone, often used in the ornamental parts of pieces and rock music, but it generally requires accompaniment to achieve a more perfect performance; folk guitar playing and singing, on the other hand, is a unique performance form where vocal and instrumental music are integrated, and it is deeply loved by young people.
This textbook starts with single-note melody exercises and gradually progresses to chord, rhythm, and arrangement practice in different keys. Combining the theoretical foundation of music, the textbook provides detailed introductions to treble clef, bass clef, tablature, as well as harmonic basics and the methods of arranging singing and playing. It enables learners to master both guitar singing and playing while also grasping the theoretical knowledge of music.
