An indispensable guide for the aspiring rock guitarist, "Total Electric Guitar Tutor" includes specially-commissioned photographs and diagrams, plus clear instructive text, so whether you are a complete beginner or you know the basics of guitar-playing, you can learn to play rock guitar. The accompanying CD mirrors the contents of the book: for each of the 10 chapters covering a different style of rock, there is a dedicated backing track over which all of the topics of that chapter can be played. But there's more to rock music than just technique: issues of sound and amplification are equally important. The sounds of many different types of guitar and amplifiers, as well as the crucial processing effects, can all be heard on the CD. The combination of book and CD together gives you a complete tuition course in playing rock guitar.
