THE ART OF RHYTHM GUITAR is the new addition to a fine series of books. This third method by author Stéphane Gagnon is designed to help guitar players of all ages, to learn to read rhythmic notation and to acquire standard chord dexterity. With its original collection of twenty-six progressive studies recorded on CD in both slow and normal tempo, you will find plenty of reading material for the enthusiast. Level 1, 2 and 3 are all included in the same book, providing enough progression to match the learning curve of any player.
Each study sounds like
a complete song with its verse, chorus and bridge, making it musical
and fun to play. Every piece is clearly written using a single line
rhythmic notation along with standard note figures. The use of this
simplified writing style separates the learning process in two and makes
tablature or regular notation easier to read in the future. Chord graphics
are always displayed on top of the page and pick strokes are indicated
above each note.
Clearly written and accessible to all, this is the perfect companion
to any guitar class.
Be ready for amazing results!

THE ART OF CHORDS addresses the most common weakness of the -learn by ear - guitar player, reading and understanding chords. Here is a revolutionary way to look at chords, which is both simple and easily remembered. With the knowledge of only six chords, two basic formulas and some rudiment of music theory, one can understand and play the more than nine thousand possible guitar chords.
-"the
author succeeds in making what would be steep learning a fun, smooth
ride."
Jude Gold, Guitar Player magazine, May 2002 issue.

THE ART OF CHORDS II is a logical follow up to volume one but can be studied separately. Valid for all instruments, it is a sharp creative tool, efficient if you need to compose fast. The musician will find more than 35 comprehensive tables of chords in all keys and modes, plus a clear layout of some 30-chord progressions and harmonic marches dating from the 17th century to today. The detachable center page is an outline of the whole book with additional features that advanced musicians will appreciate. In the end, you’ll discover on your own that chord progressions used by master classical composers are still the basis for many of today’s pop and rock songs. This book is ideal from quick jams to elaborate film music composing.
« It’s a system; it’s a handy reference; it’s a guide for composers looking for that missing mystery chord… Clearly written, The Art Of Chords II boasts exceptionally clean graphics and equally articulate textual explanation. Highly recommended to players of all instruments.» Muzik etc magazine, March-April 2004 issue
