Tablature

The Kristen R. Bromley Guitar Method series is based on the author’s extensive experience as a professional guitarist and noted educator. In 20 plus years, Dr. Kristen Bromley has instructed hundreds of university students in beginning, intermediate, and advanced level courses, along with child, adolescent, and adult learners. In this volume, Dr. Bromley helps guitarists learn how to play music on the guitar through reading tablature, a type of written notation specifically for the guitar. The book begins as if a student has no prior knowledge of reading tablature or playing the guitar and proceeds through playing challenging pieces. If you want to learn how to or get better at reading tablature with the guitar, this is the book for you! This method book includes: 1) Online access to nearly 16 hours of in-depth video lessons by Dr. Bromley that specifically go over the materials in this book. 2) A progressive study of reading tablature and developing guitar technique, especially for playing melodic lines. 3) 200 songs and exercises that gradually progress from easy to very challenging, and which can all be played right along with Dr. Bromley through the video lessons. 4) Explanations of tablature, musical notation devices, rhythm, measures, time signatures, and so on. 5) Right- and left-hand technique development.
